You've inquired in the right place !

I have tried several different spark plugs in non-turbo 16V SAABs. The one
that is BY FAR the best is the NGK BCP5EV.

It makes a difference even over other NGK plugs, and is worth the price
(about $20 per set!). SAAB specifically applies the BCP5EV to B212I
(2.1-liter 16V non-turbo) engines. This is *exactly* the engine in your
1991 car. I use this plug exclusively in all earlier B202I (2.0-liter 16V
non-turbo, '86-'89 900 and '87-'90 9000) cars as well with un-matched
results.

Parts stores don't carry the BCP5EV. They only have the '6' and '7'
heat-range plugs. This includes NAPA. I have only been able to find the
'5' plugs at the SAAB dealer. They come in a blister-packed set of four.
Part number is 02 45 647.
