MArk- my '95 aero fuel pump failed one morning, out of the blue. (1t 140 k miles) Ironically, it was after a period of time when I had been running the tank to reserve on a regular basis (never again!@#$) Engine turned over aok, but no spark, because there was no fuel- system will not allow spark if fuel is not detected. I tried the relay, provided by indy, but it turned out to be the pump. I had to have it towed to shop. They replaced pump (indy charged 300 repair).
Another SAAB owner told me I should have tried to kick the fuel tank several times?? , possibly "jump starting" the fuel pump (which resides in the top of the tank) enough to get it to the shop. Certainly would not have hurt, and possibly saved me the tow bill. Sometimes marginal components start working again, until they ultimately fail for good.
good luck -
Tom S
