96 Saab 900 SE Turbo:Car was scanned and code 1170 came up.Car has rough idle and getting worse.The Auto Repair Shop really couldn't pinpoint the probelm.It has new DI Cassette,spark plugs,throttle body cleaned,value cover gasket.Could this be O2 sensors or coolant sensor causing this?

to see if is the lambda you have to go and turn on the ISAT for reading values ??and you can spray quick start taking a vacum hose with engine idle, if the value of lambda QUICKLY rise to a rich mixture so the sensor is fine!In my opinion is a intake leak
