Does it start when you jumpstart it? Sounds like you may have used the last gasp in the battery to start it but didn't run it long enough for the alternator to fully recharge the battery. Saabs don't seem to like that. I had the same problem with the '95 9000 I bought recently. It had been sitting at the dealership for a long time. When the salesman went to get it, it started and he brought it around for a test drive and shut it down. When I went to drive it a bit later, it wouldn't start. It would start with a jump and run, but if it got killed -- which I was doing since I hadn't driven standard in awhile -- it wouldn't restart. It had a new battery in it and they couldn't figure it out. They had the service department go over everything and they couldn't find anything wrong. They did fully recharge the battery. It's been fine ever since. I'd try jump starting it and then drive it for about 45 minutes. lauraknopsamousergraphics.com http://www.madmousergraphics.com web design, print design, photography
