The DI came in in 1989 but you may not have the system - as you know, it's the red alloy assembly that sits between the camshafts and plugs onto all four sparking plugs at once.
I you do have DI a Saab dealer or specialist ought to have one you can borrow for a test, to save the cost of a new one if it's not needed, but make sure it's the correct type for your year.
If not, your problem could be an ignition problem anyway. This could range from bad plugs to bad ignition leads, incorrectly-set timing, or problems with the balance weights in the distributor. Your plugs are OK, I see. My Haynes manual says that some turbo engines have a double-acting vacuum capsule that also adjusts ignition timing by retarding it when the turbo comes in. I'm no technocrat, but wonder if your problem might be related to that?
It's certainly worth drying cleaning all the distributor parts, checking for tracking inside the cap and making sure all connections are good.
I see where you're going with the hooter valve but wouldn't have thought it would have such a drastic and sudden effect, but I haven't any direct experience. The thing is cheap and easy to change, of course.
Finally, could the fuel be shutting off? You say you're up near the red.
Don't know if any of this will help! Bill
