If you're absolutely certain that the fuel pump relay is good (bridging terminals 30 and 87 will provide a constant fuel feed to make absolutely certain), then I would start looking at ground wires and earth points. Do you have an immobiliser? A fault in that circuit, particularly a bad ground, would definitely given the unreliable symptoms that you describe. Paul 1989 900 Turbo S http://saab.go.dyndns.org/
