I had the fuel filter changed and that seems to have done the trick. It had sat from last fall until last week and wasn't driven much before I got it last Labor Day weekend. I put some Heet in it and it's now on it's second tank of gas, so hopefully the filter and old gas combined were the problem. I'll also run some Techron through it.
I'll be driving it this week and weekend and will report back.
The BMW vert I just bought had a similar problem where it first quit momentarily sometimes when turning and yesterday it did it twice when driving straight. This car had sat for almost a year and was a little old lady car which probably never got driven hard and was just at the point where those types of things need changing, 60k. Also, it's an 06, so just based on age it probably needed a fuel filter.
Even though it's not a SAAB, I'll report back if the filter fixes it also.
