GREAT information!

I will be away for about a week in Phoenix and I'll see if I can find a pick-n-pull down there and the new owner of my car will look here in WA.

THANK-YOU and your friends for the information! Good to know the boot retains the plug in the socket. Not how I'd do it, but I guess Saab had their reasons.

When I get back, if we had success I'll let you know. Hopefully the test I did was definitive in ID'ing the fault. I remember getting single sparks when triggering the module itself also, so that also points to the problem.

I suppose if worse comes to worse, and it doesn't fix it, maybe an earlier points distributor and coil would get it to run, or does it need the engine speed signal from the ignition module (like the Jetronic D used ignition points contact pulses) to work the Fuel Injection? I don't remember the engine has a crank or cam sensor off hand to trigger the ECU.

The RR passenger floor pan has rust that extends ominously to the right rail, so the car is of declining economic value, so spending a fortune is not justified at this point, but if it could be made to run, it would be nice. It's a shame because it was the very nicely optioned manual trans model with leather and lots of chrome trim most 240s didn't have, ande the topside original maroon paint (no dings or dents) still polishes beautifully.
