Saab: sabb 99, deceleration, fuel supply


Question
I know you are not an expert on this but I just need guidence! I bought a 99 saab 9-5 Se. When I slam the brakes the car turns off. No lights are on telling me there is something wrong. And it only happens when I slam them. I can brake normally perfectly fine. Please help

Answer

 Wow! Interesting question. Well, the only think I can think of is something related to rapid deceleration. I believe there is a sensor that turns off the fuel supply in the event of such deceleration; in your case, it could be overly sensitive.On some models it is located in the trunk.
   If so inclined, I recommend you subscribe to <www.alldatadiy.com> for the most complete information on your specific vehicle available. It costs around $25/vehicle/year, but well worth it.
         Hope this helps,
