Hall type ignition system....

The ignition system on this year 9000 is very similar to what I had on my 87 900 . The connection where the 3-wire plug goes onto the distributor was always a weak spot on the 900, the plastic would get brittle and the connectors corrode a bit.
Unplug the connector and clean with electronic cleaner. If the plastic has gotten bad, use a zip tie to hold the connection solid.
The most common cause is the hall transmitter inside the distributor. Saab makes a kit to rebuild the dist, and it's not all that bad a job. The hall module, a black electronic module mounted to a silver heat sink (I think it's on the drivers side fender, but I might be thinking of the 900)can also fail like this.
