When the symptom 1st appeared, the engine would run smoothly on initial start-up. But if the engine were turned off when warm and then restarted, it would then run rough as if not all plugs were firing and I could smell unspent fuel. Lately, it will eventually run rough when the engine warms up without having to restart to create the symptom. Recently, I've also noticed the SID and odometer lights going off and on while driving. Have changed cap, rotor, plugs and wires...sense problem is in distributor coil.
Check engine light?? i'd say check the O2 sensors...

I have a 1999 Saab 9-5. I had a similiar problem. The car would always run cold. It would get hot and the engine would quit. It could be anywhere. One mile from start to 50 miles from start. Once it cooled down it would re-start but the cool down time was always different. Only difference for me was my car would crank, just not run. Replaced the crank position sensor ($60), no more problems! Good luck!

Most likely air flow metre. Had same problem analysed and replaced and runs perfectly. Not cheap!

Took the day off yesterday and drove out into the country to get a diagnostic run (only took a couple of highway miles before the symptom reoccurred). The previous owner admitted to not properly caring for the car so there were numerous codes. The codes have been cleared with the idea to return out there when the CE light comes back on. But with 70 or so miles for the return trip and stops & starts for errands run, it's still out. The codes btw, were P0171, P0605, P1172 & P1013 (143K miles). Also, the dash lights illuminate only while starting, but don't stay lit & haven't worked since we've had it (last Fall); now the SID and odometer are intermittent. Will drive it again today to hopefully flag a code. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
