Hello Again Albert:
Yes, while sitting at a stop light the idle will often drop down to 700ish RPMs as you've described. The engine will then begin to idle roughly. Like you, I find it annoying. On ocassion, I take the car out of drive while I'm waiting for the light to turn or the train to pass, which gives me some temporary relief. By the way, I had an 03 9-5 before I purchased the 9-3, and it had the same issue. However, with the 9-5, the mechanics are able to change the idle setting using the TechII computer. Not so with the 9-3>> just one idle setting.
Hope this helps. I'll check back in case you have other questions.
Brian
