1996 Saab 900S Stalling at idle or in slow traffic...HE

Hello I have a recently acquired 1996 SAAB 900S Convertible with 2.3 liter 4cylinder engine. I love the car and have taken it to the Swedish Solutions (Saab/Volvo repair shop) and the check engine light is on. They had me replace the Air Mass Meter (to the tune of $370) + another A.I.R. Pump. However the car is still stalling out when at idle for a long time or when I am in congested slow moving traffic. I love the car, but need to get to the bottom of this problem. Any other theories or diagnosis would be appreciated.
THROUGH OTHER RESEARCH I HAVE DONE I LEARNED=
I was reading about the stalling out problem. Other owners/people said they replaced many parts and all they had to do was use higher octane fuel and since then it never stalls.
Someone also said = After much research and testing, I've narrowed down the main problem (stalling and poor idling) to the transmission. Apparently these automatics can develop problems with some governor seals and/or the torque converter lockup solenoid. In light of this, I'm going to have an experienced transmission specialist look at it sometime soon
Lastly someone said the Crank Shaft sensor is bad cost ($160 brand new). They recommended that a SAAB specialist cleaned the Crank Angle Sensor and that seemed to cure the problem and to be prepared to have this done at every service.
ANY OTHER OPINIONS WOULD BE APPRECIATED. Thanks for your help
