Fuel pre-pump, perhaps?

Phil,
I can sympathize (to an extent) about working on SAABs outside in winter (but in sub-freezing temps, not in sub-zero temps).
Anyway, I might suspect the fuel pre-pump (a.k.a. "auxilliary pump") as the culprit, but only if the stalling/bucking occured when your SPG had 1/4 tank of gas or less. My '84S did this stalling/bucking when the pre-pump had quit working.
Pre-pumps cost about $60 or so plus about $6 for the little filter "sock" which fits on the bottom of pump (filters out tank debris).
Post back and let us know if the tank was full enough (1/3 tankful or more) for the pre-pump to be the problem...
