Paul,
As a starting point, I would recommend pulling the fault/trouble codes from the LH Jetronic computer (brain) on your '89 900. The 1987 uses an older fuel injection system (be it a 16V Turbo or 8V, neither '87 will allow code retrieval).
There are several posts on how to retrieve the codes. On a 1989 900 (whether Turbo or not), you can get the fuel injection computer to flash the check engine light in a series of codes. I think it can store 3-4 codes.
This is done by using a jumper wire at the 10-pin connector (of which only 2 or 3 pins are actually used) located under the rear seat of sedans & 3 door models (or next to shifter on convertibles).
The Townsend Imports' site has a lot of info on this topic, as does the FAQ 900 section on the SAABNET homepage and the Swedish Wrench website, which I'll link below.
If it's over your head right now, just post back and I (or someone) will try to help.
Good luck!
