Hi all - new member - my brief:
25 Year old Shop Manager for First Student in Huntingdon Valley PA
Former SAAB tech - still active in Saab community and plans to take over an independent shop next year.
The Fleet;
1973 Saab 95 (Ford V4) 4 speed on the collum - 7 passenger 2 door wagon
1986 9000 Turbo (First Year Car - just aquired)
1990 Saab 900 Turbo Convertible (For Sale)
1993 Geo Metro (Commuter Fuel Saver)
1995 Saab 9000 Super CS (The toy - Stage 4 300whp)
1996 GMC Sonoma 2.2L RWD DD Work Truck
2001 Saab 9-5 Wagon - Family Hauler
I am in process of replacing my failed Clucth Slave cylinder - and clutch - while in here NOW - I am trying to repair the previous owners starter harness hack job and I NEED a diagram on the starting circuit for a 2.2L to I can put it back to OEM spec. I have a red wire on the passenger side which was cut and hanging out doing nothing. Driver side there is a brown wire poorly spliced into a extra long red wire which goes to the starter on the solenoid.
Previous owner installed a new lead from the starter relay to the power block on the D/S inner fender with a fused link and then to the starter from there.
Problem is - when you goto start - it does nothing for a few tries then it starts.
I would like to fix this NOW while I have the trans on the floor - but if not I am putting it back in the way it is and will have to address it another time. I need me truck to go home today
Thanks all in advance

OK - found this and pieced it together from online;
In this truck I have good wires now from 85 of the relay - "Purple" in my truck to the starter solenoid - there is a splice I will fix someone has at the starter to make it longer, just done poorly. Resistance from the connector of the relay to that wire is.4OHMS
The fused link wire FROM the power block was eliminated originally by the PO - I have since inspected the 30AMP fuse and it's good so I went ahead and reconnected this to the power block. It has OL Resistance to the black wire at the relay connector of 30. Open Fault here...
87 in my truck IS a Brown wire @ the connector - this goes back to the clutch pedal switch I guess... This I have not checked yet.
88 @ the connector in my truck is RED - this wire seems to go somewhere....
That diagram does not seem to correspond very accurately with my truck...
