The car just got a 100,000 tune up. Engine light is back on, and now, car seems to hesitate/sputter at 70mph and really bad while idling at a light.

In addition, I've lost cruise control AND the TCS OFF light came on AND the gas gauge started going up and downa nd up and down. All of this tonight on long drive home! HELP! There's no Saab dealer for miles where I live in Montana.

Hey what's up, the problem u r having has to do with the throttle body assembly, it is in a mode that is called [limp home mode], u may need to get it reset firstly, but after resetting if it returns to the same conditions then u will have to replace it, note who ever is resetting it for u most first clear the codes then perform reset, after resetting vehicle should run fine, providing that the unit is good & not faulty. Good luck.
