because my '84 S did the same thing. The auxilliary (or pre-) pump had failed. It normally pushes gas up into a little reservoir so the main pump--which sits above pre-pump--can get fuel at all times. My did the bucking below a 1/4 tank of gas because main pump was starving for fuel. You can hear "sucking air" noise when car running if you go back to the trunk and pull up the floorboard(s), just before it gets so low it quits running, that is. You'll be fine if you keep the gas above 1/3 or 1/2 full for a while 'til you can get the pump changed.
Anyway, my 900 was back on the road (until last Mon., see my post below) after replacing that pre-pump. I did not use a genuine Saab part (gasp, I know--poor college student, though) but it worked well. $60 at Advance Auto + $6 for the little filter sock vs. $~90 from dealer!
