You ask if fuel pumps are an issue on Saab's. Yes, at 200K miles they are an issue on all cars.
If you want to you can approach this in a scientific way.
If you flip the back rest seat, open the round flap in floor cover and pry off the round cover you can listen for the buzz from fuel pump when you turn the key on. It should humm for about 3-4 seconds even without cranking the engine.
If you don't hear any noises you can take it a step further and check for power at the orange wire in the 4 wire connector at pump. It turns green/red in color on the pump side of connector.
If you have power there when turning on the key, the pump is bad.
