the first thing i would do is get on the phone to a SAAB rep and indicate in 
perfectly clear terms that a pontiac sunbird is not an appropriate loaner 
car for for one day (let alone two weeks) for someone who just spent $40,000 
(or whatever it was) for a SAAB.

maybe i am assuming incorrectly that the dealer gave you this car in the 
meantime, but in any event if you bought the 9-5 new at that dealer, they 
need to be giving you an appropriate loaner at no cost.

do u think that if you had spent the same amount of $ on  a lexus, you would 
be driving a pontiac sunbird at a time like this? ...or even had you bought 
an acura or even a *gag* german car?   it's bad enough that a new car breaks 
down to begin with, but such poor accomodations after the fact ?  what 
dealer/where is this place?  if SAAB or a SAAB dealer thinks they can get 
away with this in the current climate of ultimate levels of customer 
service, they are doomed.

(i sold volvos from 1995- 1997 and we would never have thought of doing 
anything less.  we even went to customers homes/offices to pick their cars 
up for scheduled maintenance and left a  brand new loaner volvo for the 
customer.  if there was trouble with the set up somehow, i would even give 
my 850 turbo to the customer and took another one of the lot in the 
meantime.)

now, ;-) i am sorry i cant offer any real insight into your car's problem... 
but it sounds like the old days when the air mass meter element would simply 
break...the fuel injection system would take the engine into a less 
efficiently-running mode and you could get where you were going, but without 
good acceleration or fuel economy.   maybe the functions of the element of 
the air mass meter are incorporated into the work of a chip now, and the 
chip went bad ??? hmmm

maybe the chip was protesting hearing so much non-coverage of elian gonzales 
story too.
