Back when I bought the battery, I decided to pick up a new set of spark plugs, and then promptly forgot about them for a week. The cables looked good, so I didn't bother with those, but as bad as the oil was when I changed it, I figured the plugs had to be in need of a change.
Keeping with my attitude of going original, I went for Bosch Platinum spark plugs, because so far, Bosch=Saab Original Equipment, and even on the off chance that it isn't, Bosch still=quality parts, so no worries there.
Thankfully, I found a plug spanner in with the rachet set, so I didn't need to buy one of those, but I removed the valve cover on the engine and removed and replaced the plugs one by one.
Something I found out in this process was that:
a)the old plugs were Bosch Platinum, which gives me hope that previous owners cared for Ulla and,
b)the old plugs weren't that old, which added to the hope that previous owners gave a damn for regular maintenance.
It wasn't a huge improvement, but after swapping out the plugs, she purred a bit more, and fired right up.
Cost of Plugs: about $10
