91 900i that shuts off.....some diagnosis questions

Its 91 900i with the 2.1L motor. It runs perfectly smooth and strong 99% of the time, but every once in a while it just turns off and refuses to restart for 20 or so minutes. I have rebuilt the fuel pump, put on a new fuel pressure regulator, changed the fuel filter. All the electrical connections have been cleaned and tightened. I also put on a new ignition module (little thing inside driver side fender). It has been doing this intermittently for about 2 years. Local saab shop is just guessing because by the time I get it to them she runs great. My next step was going to be to replace the hall/crank shaft position sensor. Here is the kicker though, I am fairly certain that when I crank her and it won't start, there is a spark coming off the coil wire. Doesn't that mean the hall sensor is ok and the problem is fuel related? If it is fuel related...please tell me what in the fuel system I haven't replaced yet! (yes, i posted earlier with this same problem....but I thought it might help with the diagnosis if I told you it was getting a spark)
Thanks for the help!
