88 SPG fuel cut out or? problem

hi,
i just bought this 88 SPG today. it's black and it's beautiful. pretty much everything is in ok condition on this baby except when you drop down to idle it tries to die but you can keep it running by pressing the accelerator. also, when in like 5th gear on the freeway, going up any old little hill seems to make it sputter and like miss and lose power. if you shift down to fourth and get the rpm's up it works better. i put a new air filter in today as the sun was going down and i'm gonna check all vacuum hoses, etc. tomorrow when it's light out, but i have a feeling it's something deeper than this. where should i start to diagnose this problem? does this sound like something someone is already farmiliar with? turbo doesn't seem to kick in as it should either. i have barely driven it, but i figured it didn't seem to be a major problem, so it was a deal and i have been wanting a black spg ever since i first drove a saab 900... i expected i would have to put some work into it, so here goes; but that's half the fun for me owning this car anyways. please help me get started with getting her in shape! thanks.
