My 2001 V6 3.0t too

Mine does it too when it's really cold in the morning after sitting out all night. It sounds like a diesel for a little while and while I am driving up the driveway it sputters. For example I have my foot steadily on the gas and it will just slow down, almost stop before lunging to normal again. I have new plugs, DIC, and air filter and 166k miles so it's probably dirty in there. I ran a tank with techron, but what is this Sea Foam you talk of? After it's warmed up it seems to run fine. Also, you may notice you get tons of steam out the exhaust. Saab had problems with the engine stalling when cold first started, so they make it run extremely rich (lots of gas, little air) while the engine warms up. This little glitch may have something to do with the sputtering as the engine is sensitive to the cold.
