Car died, need advice

2003 Arc (v6), 81k miles. 1/2 tank of gas, name-brand 89 octane.
The car conked out at highway speed, in hot weather (90 deg). At about 70 mph, after an hour of normal highway driving, the engine stumbled, the CEL flashed, and then it died. I eased it off the road and could not restart it. Cranks fine, but won't catch.
Possibly relevant: occasionally, when driving around town doing errands, the car won't start, but then does start on a 2nd try.
Fuel pump? CPS?
The car is at a shop that I don't know, but the tow truck driver recommended it. They may be good with SAABs, or not -- so when I talk to them tomorrow I'd like to be prepped for likely solutions.
Thanks!!
