Check Engine Light

Hi,
I posted a couple of weeks ago about my 3.0 v6 turbo 9-5.
Reminder, went to town, came back & it wouldnt start. Got the RAC rescue people out - they took 2 hours to come & it would start again, but check engine light stayed on. RAC mechanic fiddled, couldnt find anything wrong - no diagnostic error code!
he ended up following me home & when I got home I stopped it, started it again & the check engine lights had gone out.
It then stood idle for 2 weeks....
An update
I went away to work for a couple weeks, thought I would try it when I got home...
It started fine, ran fine - drove it about 5 miles & then the engine cut out while moving aong. Check engine light was lit, numerous attempts to restart it failed. tried removing the engine management fuses to reset, no go.
Walked home, went back to it 3 hours later when it was cold, no check engine light, started fine, drove it home without incident.
I obviously cant trust it to do any sort of distance now, and dont think I would be able to make the nearest Saab dealer which is >30 miles away.
Any ideas from anyone would be appreciated?
