I recently bought a 900S Convertible with 107,000 miles.
Had the exact same problem as described in this post.
Found records in the vehicle that the prior first owner
had replaced everything that her Saab dealer recommended
but it still had the stalling problem so she dumped the
car.
It took my Saab dealer a week to find the problem. Seems
the computer overlooks the real answer, so tons of unnecessary
replacement parts get put into these cars as the checklist
is wrong.
The senior mechanic at Chermak Saab in Clarks Summit PA spoke
with a load of other Saab mechanics and one of them knew the
trick. It turns out it is an irradically intermittant ignition
coil which happens after 100,000 miles.
Popped one in my Saab at 107,000 and it is 100% dependable.
The prior owner spent $1400 and I spent $625 to find out that
an $85 simple part was causing the stalling at neutral and
irratic starting issue. Forget all the false vaccume discussion,
forget all the contact suggestions, forget the high octane gas,
fuse/contact stuff that people want to sell you - start with the
coil. The older honest mechanics know what the glitch really is.
Hope this helps some other folks! Best to all.
