Stalls randomly, hard to start after

My 1989 Saab 900 starts the first time no problem. If I let it sit overnight, for sure it will start in the morning.
The trouble is in the first 5 minutes of driving. The car will die or nearly die about 5 times. The rpms just fall to zero and either bounce back up or the car stalls. When it does stall, it will start again sometimes right away, sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes not at all (until I let it sit over night). It seems that if I'm lucky enough to keep it running through those first 5 minutes, however, it won't stall after.
The last time it would not start, I tested for spark at the plugs --no spark. Tested for spark at the distributor --no spark from the distributor. Pulled the coil off --AutoZone says its good. It's turning over just fine, so I think the starter is ok. Can anybody help!?
Is the stalling problem related to the not starting problem?
Thanks for your help,
Garret
