I've been trying to figure this out for a couple of months now. My 93 CDE, non-turbo (178,000 miles), was running fine one day when it suddenly died. From previous experience as I tried to restart, I figured it was the DI cassette. Got a used one off of ebay (maybe not best move) and installed it, but battery was dead. Jumped it and it started fine. Had battery tested and it had a dead cell, so replaced it!

Started up fine, ran for a little while and died again. Replaced DI with old one and it started right up. Drove it and it seemed ok, but kept feeling a slight stutter. Got it home and it died again, but this time to restart. Got a Saab tech to look at it and decided it was the crank position sensor.

Replaced it, replaced the CPS and put in new plugs. Seemed to run fine for about a day so I replaced air filter (had about 30k on it) and the fuel filter (probably about 60-70k on it), and it started up and ran great.

Took it out for a drive and was good for about 20 minutes, then it gave a hard shake when I shifted into second and did this again until I gave it more gas as I was shifting to keep it from stalling. Got it into fourth and fifth gear and it started sputtering as if it was not getting gas, and again gave it more pedal to keep it from stalling out completely.

I finally got it home and into the driveway when it died again and would not restart, not even after changing DI. I let it sit for a couple of days and figured I would try to start it up again, and it did. Ran great until I let the hood drop to close it, and it just shut off. No hope of restart either. Tried it again this past weekend and it started again and ran fine, even after shutting the hood.

I really don't want to drive it because of what it may or may not do, so I'm looking for any suggestions before I tow it to the dealer.

Sorry for the long post.
