>If I press the gas pedal quickly at low speeds (to get out of the way - not necessarily to continue driving fast), the car bucks wildly (alternates between going and not going) until I release the gas.
I've seen many a saab with too much slack (in my opinion) in the throttle cable behave a little like this. There is a threaded plastic holder where the cable attaches to the engine that will give you a little adjustment. I think if you turn the plastic holder with a wrench your condition might improve. It sounds like you might have another problem though, which could be being made worse by a throttle cable with too much slack in it. If the fuel filter has not been replaced in a few years I would replace it just for the heck of it.
