Saab: 97 Saab 900 Se Turbo wont start, saab 900 se, saab 900


Question
I brought my Saab to get an oil change, and when the technician went to drive it out of the garage, she wouldn't start. Everything seems to be fine, all electrical components work properly, and the car is capable of running, if I get it moving and release the clutch while it is in 1st gear, she'll turn over. The car doesn't try to turn over, it doesn't do anything. I found a symptom online that sounds pretty close, that there's a bad security module which prevents your car from starting up, however I'm not sure if that would also prevent the car from running at all. Thank you in advanced.

Michael:
 I am sorry, but my hands-on expertise & experience is limited to the 'older' (pre 1993) 900's before such things as integral antitheft systems came about. However, I can recommend an extremely useful source of information (the most complete I have ever seen)for your vehicle; it costs $25/year, but well worth it I think. It is:<alldatadiy.com>.
     Hope this helps,
