Rob, You may have an airmass meter problem. Ask Mike at www.spg9.com Those guys are friends of mine and are total Saab experts. They helped me to get my car running right (I had similar problems with my 86 9000 T). I bought most of their go-faster goodies and now my car is extremely fast. Good luck and tell them James sent you.
