Have you checked the inside of the distributor cap to see if it's clean.
Many of the non-turbo's (including my 1995 900S) have a leaky distributor
shaft seal. Mine's done it for years. It's only a little oil that gets by,
but every a few months it accumulates and I notice the idle is less smooth
and it's more difficult to start off from a stop(5sp-M/T). Lately I just
pull and clean the cap at every oil change (3k miles) and that works fine.
