not sure, run a code scanner on it and post the trouble code that would help to diagnose. Your local auto parts store can probably scan it for you.

I had the same problem. First I replaced the seals. Not once but twice, but that did not work. So I purchase a new distributor from online internet parts place in Arizona. I had no more problems. Its been 4 years now since I replaced it.

There are three ways to reset a check engine light.

1. Disconnect the battery, wait approximately 30 minutes, reconnect the battery. This resets the cars computer which also reset the check engine light. On newer OBD (on-board diagnostic) compliant vehicles this usually does not work. See step 2.

2. Reset using an OBD II reader. When you hook an OBD II code reader up to your vehicle, you can reset the computer using the code reader.

3. Fixing the problem. Generally the check engine light comes on for a reason. Usually it is emission related (sensors, gas cap) or electrical (faulty wiring). In this case the way to reset the check engine light is to fix the problem

MY FIRST PROBLEM WITH THAT WAS A VACUUM LINE TO THE THROTTLE VALVE.I FIXED IT AND TOOK IT TO SOMEONE WHO HAD A TECH2 AND CLEARED IT.YOU'LL BE BETTER OFF DOING THE SAME WITH THE TECH2.WITH THE SAAB SO MANY THINGS GET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON LOL.GETTING IT OF AND KEEPING IT OFF ARE TWO DIFFERANT THINGS.
BUT IN THE LONG RUN IT'S CHEAPER TO BUY YOUR OWN TECH2 FOR UNDER $100 ON LINE AND LEARN YOURSELF. IF YOU ARE GOING TO KEEP YOUR SAAB
