I'll have to check on the plugs used. I'm assuming they were the spec'd part and that they are not cracked. If they/it were, I would think that the engine would be running poorly all the time (which it isn't).
I spoke to the mechanic who worked on it and he had discussed it with other SAAB tech's and they said that they had seen the same problem and ultimately (in their case) it turned out to be coolant leaking into the cylinders due to a cracked head gasket. They checked for CO2 in the coolant and found that to fix it. However, this was only after replacing all the typical things found when the ECU reports "misfired cylinder". I'll be pursuing that.
Thanks for the feedback Dean.
