Disadvantages of the Saab D207L engine
Swirl flaps in the intake manifold are the primary cause of engine issues.
Wearing them causes them to wedge, randomly close, and sometimes even fall off.
The only part of the fuel system that frequently causes problems is the metering valve.
Nozzles frequently begin to pour at high mileage, but they are excellent for repairs.
In the vicinity of the fourth cylinder, the exhaust manifold may occasionally crack or distort.
