My 1987 Saab 9000 Turbo will stall, when the engine is hot, and I accellerate(get into the boost)and then suddenly let up on the gas(such as deciding to run a yellow light and then thinking better of it). The RPM will drop to almost zero, the oil light comes on, sometimes the RPM will flare back up to 1500 or so(with the oil light still on!!!) and then silence. Every time this happens the beast is hard to start again, 10 seconds of cranking or so is about normal.....anyone got any ideas? It's been doing this for years......any feedback, other than "sell the car", will be greatly appreciated.
