You don't have an AIC

On 9-3s with Trionic 7 engine management (2000 and up, plus the '99 Viggen) the throttle body is motorized and can perform the function of an AIC. That said, the throttle body may need cleaning - it's not hard to remove the plastic air delivery pipe on top of it, and spray some carb cleaner in there.
Some people recommend that you oil the pivot points of the throttle plate after cleaning, as the solvent may have dried things out.
The purge valve and its hoses can cause idle issues - search here for advice on how to test it.
