Starting problem
 

I recently replaced my radiator and thermostat in my 1999 9-3 turbo 2.0L. When I was finished I pulled it out of my garage and let it run for a few minutes to make sure everything was OK. Then I drove it to the gas station and around a bit to make sure there was no overheating. After about 20 minutes I thought everything was fine and went home. Next morning I get up and the car won't start. I sounds like it fires once then never again. I have spark (although it seems to only spark once) and I can smell gas so I'm pretty sure it's not the fuel pump. Does anybody know of anything like a kill switch or something I need to do because of disconnecting the battery or anything? This seems very odd to me. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Josh

RE: Starting problem
 

two things could have gona bad

1. The DIC
2. The CPS

Do you have anyone you could swap the DIC with for a minute to see it it's the problem?

Forgive my ignorance here but I'm not quite sure what the DIC is, although I am positive I dont have anybody to swap mine with.

Direct Ignition Casette....that red thing bolted smack in the middle of the head. Unfortunately it's expensive, but MANY saabers choose to have a spare...and there's a reason for that.

I took that off and did the spark to the screwdriver technique. All of them sparked, it was just once then they wouldn't spark again. I figured that meant it was some sort of computer problem, like the computer was cutting spark after once because it was throwing some code.
