All the advice so far is sound.
I would also check the fuel pressure at the rail - that should help tell if you have a fuel delivery problem. And what about the fuel filter - changed it in the last 30K miles? How old is the battery - because a 'tests good' is sometimes not good enough for these cars.
The '99 cars don't monitor the DIC in the ECU software the way later cars can, so a softly failing DIC is not impossible - is it SAAB / SEM or aftermarket? Is the malfunction frequent enough that you could swap in a known good DIC and notice the difference?
You note that a 30K service is coming up, so do you have a good independent mechanic that has a history with the car?
Let us know how your search turns out - I have a '99 with 226K miles, and I recently replaced the ignition switch (did the ignition lock cylinder earlier).
