+1 on checking the distributor cap and rotor. That’s a great idea.
I know it was suggested above already, but I would try jumpering the fuel pump relay to see if the problem goes away when the fuel pump relay is out of the circuit.
1997 855 GLT (Light Pressure Turbo) still going strong. Previous: 1986 240 GL rusted out in '06, 1985 Saab 900T rusted out in '95, 1975 Saab 99 rusted out in '95, 1973 Saab 99 rusted out in '94
