The '87s are the worst for this. Saab did not have the emission control specs worked out correctly in the computer program. As they get older, it only gets worse. The real fix is to replace the computer with an '88 model.
Replacing the 02 sensor, the temp sensor, adjusting the air flow meter, new vacuum hoses all will help, but the real problem is systemic in the computer program. (PS: at least the '87 computer does not routinely self destruct as do all the '89s, or as do the DI cartridges on the later cars)
thnx, jv.
