Paul,
Try pushing gently down on the recirculation flap (a.k.a. "fresh air door"). Is there something beneath the door/flap which won't let it open? Flap should drop open as vacuum is depleted after engine/ignition is cut off and power to recirc. solenoid valve is turned off.
As of '86 900 the recirc. solenoid switch was still outside, not sure about your '87S. I know by '90 (the year of my Mom's 900), recirc. solenoid valve is inside car, behind knee bolster on passenger's side, above LH-Jetronic computer & relays. I'm not sure about how to test solenoid, but I doubt it is your problem.
Sounds to me like your problem is a physical obstruction of the recirc. flap OR maybe the vacuum motor for the flap is stuck (internally) at the closed position.
I've never had that happen (knock on wood) on my SAABs before.
Hope this helps!
