New here --- so please excuse asking a questions that may have already have been answered a thousand time, but here goes...My 2007 SAAB 9.3 CVT [46.0k miles w/manual trans.] has a starting problem that I'll try to explain. Often it won't start when I turn the key, so then I try things such as pumping the brake peddle until it's hard and then sometimes it will start, sometimes not. Next I will move the steering wheel to its highest position and sometime it starts, sometimes not. Then I'll start it in gear and sometimes it starts and sometime not. Sometimes I try combinations of all of the above and again, sometimes it starts and sometimes not. Eventually it always starts with some combination of the above. I previously owned a 2001 9.3 CVT and never encountered this problem. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your sage thoughts!
