Art - I have the identical problem on an 85 900 Turbo (16V) - and I have yet to solve it completely. I have done similar to you - checked/replaced all vacuum lines, gromets, hoses, ets., cleaned the AIC valve, tested the throttle position sensor, replaced plugs and cap. The idle seems to get better with each fix, but it still will stall after idling for 10-20 seconds when cold. Typically, it starts just fine in the am, I back out of garage, get out to shut garage door, and just as I'm getting back in, it dies. Then starts fine again, runs fine unless I let off the gas too quickly before it's warm, whereupon it will stall.
I've read many, many questions and answers about SAAB idle problems. It seems the air mass meter system of idle control in these cars is somewhat finicky and prone to trouble with older, possibly leaking, components. I'd appreciate any comments about this issue.
