I need some help interpreting symptoms on my '83 900 Turbo.  On a long,
hot highway trip, it started to miss occasionally (an unprecedented event)
and the fuel pump got so noisy I could hear it above the stereo.

I normally run the car on [m]ethanol-enhanced unleaded gas, and my
last fill-up was about 1 hour before the problem started, using regular
no-lead.  Is it possible that the fuel filter is clogged and the pump is
working overtime to feed the engine?  Given the price of Saab parts, I
hate to replace the filter without due cause.

Please respond to ihnp4!wnuxb!djmolny, and I will post a summary if warranted.
