What if you take the new one off and put the old one back on? Are you sure you did not loosen the distributor body and rotate it, or worse; pulled it out, and put it back in again jumping one or two gear teeth? - check the timing, either static or with a strobe light. What about the coil? (I am not really familiar with SAABs newer than the 96...) but I know a defective coil sometimes seems to pruduce a spark with the plugs out but no sufficient spark when the plugs are in, against the compression and fuel etc. From the description I uinderstand it is an injection engine. If there is fuel at the injector connection it does not mean the injectors work - is it an elecronic or pressure regulated injection system?
