yes I know GM owns Saab, but I think as you can see he hasnt had a answer yet, so maybe its the wrong section. oh yes its a 1991, GM didnt own Saab back then. 1999 then totally in 2000

Does it stall without braking?I recommend checking the intake and AIC plumbing and see if there are cracks.Also you should have ABS so it would have no direct effect on the motor control, most especially if your car does not establize with running or when near idle.
