Another idea is the ignition amplifier, the little black thing mounted near the cruise control unit in the inner fender on drivers side. Your manual will show it. I had same problem with my 85 900T 16v once, and limped home from work. Thought it was a fuel problem, but made the mistake it taking it the next morning. It quit 2 blocks from home and I had to push it home. A week in the garage and I could not figure it out, until Larry at Andrews mentioned the part and said that some of them carry spares. An old one from an 83 900 was around, so I plugged it in... bingo! The car is still running on that one, but I carried a spare after that. They run about $75 I believe, unless you know of a junkyard. Apparently early ones were rather fragile. Sure is a pain to figure out!
Good luck
Jim
