Julia--
Doing the DI is easy. And the link to eEuro's DI is below. It's under "Engine Electrical" in their parts index. $329. But get this diagnosed instead of just throwing parts at it.
The DI is the big red thing on top of the engine. It has four Torx head screws holding it to the valve cover.
Undo the four Torx head screws that hold it down.
Lift it up (you have wiggle it a bit) so it comes off the spark plugs (the white and silver things you'll see when you lift off the DI.
Carefully turn it over and on the end where the wires come in there are a couple of phillips head screws holding the wiring connector.
Undo those and disconnect.
Take the new DI and connect it.
Put a little dielectric grease on inside of each of the black boots (black tubes). Use a thin screwdriver to spread it around inside the boot. Be gentle.
Put the DI boots over the plugs and push down until it's back in place. It only goes on one way.
Replace the screws and tighten.
Done. About 15-20 minutes.
Some say you should disconnect the battery before unplugging the DI. If you do, be sure you have your radio code.
Be sure the plugs are the right NGKs BCPR7ES (possibly with a 11 after the S, indicating they are pregapped.) Also from eEuro for $7.
And your mechanics are boneheads. If they only work on Saabs and haven't been able to help you much they are pirates. Look in the mechanics index here to see if you have someone good nearby.
The problem could also be related to TCS (an electronic throttle control that is Saab's Traction Control System). It has been known to cause problems, but I don't know anything about it as my 9Ks don't have it. Others here have that knowledge.
Other things to check: fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator, AMM, all vacuum lines connected, cat is not plugged up, turbo is working, air intake not blocked. A while ago, someone here had a mechanic put an air cleaner in backwards which made the car run pretty bad.
Good luck and keep us posted.
