Does your idle surge or fluctuate, or does it hold at the high rpm? I had a long standing fluctuating idle problem in my '88 900S. I cleaned the aic and throttle body, tried other amm's and ecu's, replaced a faulty plug on the aic, checked O2 sensor, temp sensor, checked all vacuum hoses and fittings (basically, all of the bentley manual recommendations). All of these with varying degrees of idle improvement.....but no total fix. I finally replaced the aic and the car runs fine. My feeling is that after 100,00 miles the aic in my car was in need of replacement, not more cleaning. If you have a shop who will let you try a "donor" aic from a car which idles fine, that is worth a try. Good luck.
