Yep.  I just had a similar experience with my '92 9000T.  It was giving TCS
faults and going into limp-home mode almost as soon as the accelerator pedal
was pressed at all after starting.  I read out the flash codes which said
there was a TPS fault.  I had nearly resigned myself to getting it towed to
either the local Saab mechanic or the dealership to get it checked out when
I found a vacuum line had somehow blown off from the MAP sensor on the
firewall.

Luck can be good.
