Hello,
I just bought a 1987 Saab 900 turbo and it has been driving really well for about two weeks.Now it seem to be dying when i am coming to a stop or just starting out.It seems to be fine when on the freeway.If it doesn't stall at red light it seems to shake alittle.
Could it be that it just needs better gas?

Thank for the reply!
I took it to mechanic and he said it is 1 of 4 valves that are not working. Any idea what it will cost me to fix it?
(the mechanic was unsure as he's not familiar with Saabs)
