Sometimes that kind of thing can happen with an old/worn out oxygen sensor... Have you checked that possibility? If the car kind of oscillates as it idles (or atleast did before this more catastrophic problem) it can point to the oxygen sensor because what it is doing is checking exhaust gasses and compensating the air/fuel mixture to get the right one. Eventually the sensor just can't compensate enought and the car will barely idle/sometimes die. I've heard plenty of old 900's with that characteristic rise and fall rise and fall idle that signals upcoming sensor failure. I could be way off track, but it's an idea. Good luck,
Brendan
