Vehicle will occasionally be hard to start, when does start it misses until revved to clear up. Tune ups are performed at recommended mileage. My car is a 1990, first year for saab direct ignition. Replaced ignition cassette less than 30,000 miles ago, starting to go out again. During my ownership i have replaced the direct ignition twice, i have owned the car approx 8 years. I feel all owners of vehicles equipped with this part should be reimbursed. I used to be saab tech and these modules go out way too often and are expensive to replace . *tr
