SMOKE FROM DIRECT IGNITION!!!

This on a '99 9-5 SE (2.3L motor) 34K miles:
After seemingly running ok, tried to start the car (hot) and it would not start after several tries. The motor turned over, but didn't seem to be getting any gas and/or spark. Opened up the hood and tried to start her again but noticed smoke coming from beneath the "Direct Ignition" cover on top of the motor. Won't try that again, lest she catch fire and blow up!!! Of course, this happens on a Saturday afternoon 120 miles from the nearest Saab dealer!!!
Recently had the 30,000 mile service done at the Okla. City Saab dealer. Have noticed a little hesitation to start in recent weeks (often have to give it a little gas to catch on cold starts).
Anyone have any experience with this? What's wrong and how expensive will it be?
Thanks,
Norm
