What do you mean by 'nothing'? If the battery is discharged again then it isn't going to run. You need enough juice to run all those computers and fuel pumps and the ignition system. I've seen cases where the battery was strong enough to just barely crank the engine over, but under those circumstances, there wasn't enough left over to run the engine. In this case, it will sometimes catch just as you release the key.
Is the charging system working? (You need some battery power to make the alternator work.) Is the trunk light staying on? What is the system voltage after it starts? Before it dies? BTW, Saab batteries need water (distilled) periodically.
Good luck John
