Not much idea on line placements or vacuum values, as I have yet to ever work on a Saab engine. I am carrying over basic troubleshooting ideas from DSM/Mitsu turbo engines.

You definitely need to get the OBD2 setup working, as that should open a wealth of info.

Just watched the video. Definitely pull a vacuum check. If it is losing considerable vacuum above idle, you might have nothing more a clogged catalytic converter.

However, since I am not too informed about Saab engine quirks, I suggest also posting your problem at the Saab Central forum.
