Noises on a 2002 9-3

I purchased a used 2002 9-3 SE about a month ago (about 70,000 km), and it makes some noises that I'm curious about. The engine seems to stutter when I am stopped or in neutral, and causes the car to vibrate, sometimes slightly, sometimes more. A few times, the lights on the dash have dimmed, and the car seems as though about to stall. No warning light comes on.
Another noise comes from the left side vent/behind the dash, and it's a chirping type sound, that stops when I shut the heat off. It's not constant, and I'm guessing it's the vent or heating?
Last, there is a lot of squeaking from the back of the car when I drive, and a couple times from the front seat. Is that a job for WD-40? I've read on other boards that Saabs do tend to squeak, and the dealership sprayed some silicone around the trunk, but the squeak returned.
Other than that, I love the car. I appreciate any feedback/advice.
