Car still cutting out...what to try next?

My wife's '97 900 SE (auto) is suffering again from the "sudden death" syndrome where the engine just shuts down, usually at near idle speeds. Last night in the driveway I got it to shut down about 10-20 times...just idling smoothly and the *off*. So far we've replaced the DI cassette, the MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor, the PCV valve, and a variety of cracked/broken vacuum lines. Not much left to go :-(
This morning I cleaned/lubed the IAC. That seemed to smooth out the idle performance, and I had no stalling, but that is typical of the way this problem has been. Wiggled the ignition key while running just to see if there was a bad contact...no influence.
What to check next? In my old Audi, the fuel pump relay went bad and I would get these sudden shutdowns, but I can't locate the fuel pump relay in the Saab (if it exists). Any clues?
Good news (?) is I've got a "check engine" light on now, so maybe the local indie can get a clue as to what's broken now.
Thanks in advance!
