86 900T is 16 valve and not CIS, I think? If it cranks then my usual is to remove a vacuum line on the intake plenum, using the straw on a can of carb cleaner spray into that opening to a count four or five, replace the vacuum line, and crank to see if you are getting some type of spark, it should cough and try to start and then either quit or if you are very lucky run! If it coughs and stops, repeat a couple of times to be sure, and if it still will not stay running then suggest you are not getting fuel. if you do the normal crack the fuel rail and see fuel is spraying out, then suggest that the injectors are not fireing. check all of the fueses in both fuse blocks, have see that issue on a 1985 I received free. it was the fuse that controlled the ecu or injectors or something that didn't begin to sound like it could be an issue. ALSO, when you remove the fuses, take your time and look into the socket to make sure the silver metal bits in the socket are both at the same level AND are up to the top (compare to others...). Not too uncommon to see the metal pushed down and not makeing contact with the fuse. if that happens there are two torx screws that you loosen to allow you to pull the entire fuse deck up from the fuse box, then you can push the connector up from the bottom. CAUTION - suggest you remove battery power while you pull the fuse deck up AND again when you replace it. Older Saabs have the biodegradable wiring insulation, let's keep the sparks to a minimum...
