The same problem happened to me about a year ago, 11,000 miles ago at around 49,000 miles. 02 9-3 SE 5 door hatchback. Starts first time then it sputtered and recovered after 10 seconds.
The Saab/Caddy dealer who did NOT know what they were doing said I needed all this work done on the car which was a load of bull. They quoted me 3K worth of parts to replace - 11,000 miles later the car is still running perfectly. I recently took it to an INDY for the 60K service - They are really good - Swedish Solutions NE Ohio been servicing Saabs since 1982.
The problem was due to the type of gas I was putting in the car. I switched to mid grade gas from lower grade gas (BP or Shell) and it's never happened since. BTW find a good Saab INDY as many Saab dealers who sell other GM cars do NOT know what they are talking about.
