95 starting problems - Saab Forums

Hi all, I'm a new member from sunny Scotland.
I have a 95 estate and I cannot start it after it has been running for about 15 minutes.
It turns over as normal but just won't fire up.
I had a Service Theft Alarm warning too so I replaced the siren.
If I sit and wait for a while it starts no bother so think it may be engine temp related.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated as I really like my car and do not want to part with it.

You're in luck. With almost 90% certainty you have a faulty Crank Position Sensor.
