Assuming it is a 4 cylinder:
There is a black plastic fitting on the back of the valve cover(top of engine, says ECOPOWER on it. This fitting has two rubber hoses on it pull it out and remove the small hose and verify that this fitting is not clogged where the small hose goes in. that tiny fitting gets clogged and shuts of the crancase breather system which causes lots of bad things in terms of sludge buildup in the engine(we drill the hole larger to prevent this). Be prepared to replace the little line and maybe the big one as well.
Saab hasn't learned to make good rubber bits yet. I would take a good look at both large rubber lines in the crankcase vent system. One goes from that fitting to a black box mounted on the back of the engine and the other goes from the end of the metal tube that cuts across the left side of the engine at the top and goes to the black box
