The stuttering is not the overboost fuel shut off, which is more wheel in your face. You might be getting a boost cut due to the knock sensor, but that's more of a momentary pulsing boost drop and normally occurs well into the red unless your have a bad tank of gas.
It sounds to me like you have a bad distributor rotor, or your spark plug gaps have eroded beyond .028. Also could be a bad dist cap or spark wires.
Regap plugs to .024 and throw in a new OEM Saab rotor and I'll bet you will be fine.
