Saab engine running issue

My g/f has an '05 Saab 92x (Saabaru). It's making an interesting noise, kind of like a quiet 'sneeze' with an almost imperceptible lapse in power. If I turn on the air conditioner, it happens about 1s later, and at random ever 10s to 60s thereafter. It doesn't seem to do it with the A/C off, but it's almost 100 today, and I didn't feel like fully vetting that theory.

My guess is a coil pack is going out, although I don't know much about these engines.

Thoughts?
