Sudden Loss of Power

I have a Saab 900 Turbo, 1989. For the first 12 months I had this car,
(bought second-hand 2 years ago) it ran superbly.

However, after problems with the airconditioner and fan system, an
intermittent problem arose where the car suddenly loses power, and when you
depress the accellerator past about 1500 rpm the car literally 'kangaroo
hops' up the street. It's sort of like it is 'hyperventilating'. I've now
had the car to 2 saab specialists who keep telling me they've fixed the
problem, but so far, every time I've picked it up after being 'fixed' darn
me if it hasn't done it again.

Generally it starts after about 20 minutes of running, and there is no
real predictive circumstance in which it does or does not happen. Any
ideas at all?? I'm in Sunny Western Australia ;-)
