I spoke to my Saab mechanic and he said it is almost certainly NOT fuel pump-related (he said that would present different symptoms). He also said that it would be difficult for him to conclusively test the problem since it is an intermittent problem. He suggested that the first thing I should try (when the problem reccurrs) is to test for spark by pulling the main wire to the distributor.
I'm thinking that I should probably just buy a new distributor cap and spark plug wires. They haven't been changed in at least the 5 years and 40k miles that I've owned the car, and possibly much longer.
