My wife's car with about 70K miles, 94 - 900s had a similar idle problem. When the car got hot (about 45 minutes in the Tucson desert), the car would surge at idle and often stall. Once the condition was present, I was able to isolate the problem to the evaporative purge system by unplugging the purge valve outlet hose from the throttle body. The surging and stuttering stopped. Reconnecting the hose and it would start the idle surging again.
I had tried cleaning the purge valve, which helped a little (took longer to act up), but replacing the valve solved the problem. We also had one incident prior to replacing the valve of gasoline smell in the cabin. Also sometimes, there would be vapor fumes in the garage. For me, the purge valve replacement has fixed both problems.
I just wanted to express my thanks to this message board for the suggestions and document my symptoms and solution.
Thanks,
John
