car runs horrible.....might have to sell/junk

92t and for the life of me I can't figure out why it runs so poorly. It has alot of smoke at startup yet it doesnt burn any oil (still at max). upon startup the idle goes to about 2k, jumps around and then settles smooth. I cleaned the isv and it didnt help and I dont think its a factor. I replaced the turbo by-pass valve, didnt help. it has 160k on it and I think the fuel pump is original and maybe even the filter. usually a pump either works or doesnt but a clogged filter could be why it drives poorly. symptom is loss of power, slow boost and bucking under load.
by the bentley the fuel pump is in tank, costs $$ and is difficult to replace. any thoughts or ideas before I let the junk yard have it for $500? the body is in excellent shape and it would be a shame to let some yard tear it apart.
if anybody is around nny, knows saabs well and wants another post back. I have not listed it yet but would like to see what its worth and if there is interest. it might need some major parts or some simple fixes.
