Did the car go into limp mode?
P1260 and P1251 have to do with the throttle body. Sometimes it can be fixed by just cleaning the throttle body; if cleaning doesn't work, you'll have to replace the throttle body.
For P0116, you'll most likely have to change both the coolant temp sensor, and the thermostat.Free SaabWorld Stickers

If it's been running normal, it hasnt been in limp mode. Limp mode is basically were the car only does what is necessary to be able to get it home (it limits max rmps, speed...). You'd know if you were in limp mode, as it's pretty obvious.

I added a new subforum with more detailed information from the WIS about each error code. Check it out here: Diagnostics
Some of it is pretty technical baut it can point you in the right direction.
