I have a 96 900se with a manual transmission that's now got a problem that is driving me crazy. I took the car to a carwash yesterday (I live in Connecticut and the temp was below 32) to clean the road salt off. A short time later the car developed an erratic idle. When I brought the car to a stop, the motor would continually rev between 1500 and 2200 rpm. I let the car sit overnight in the gargage and then ran it for about 45min. just in case I had picked up some ice. It ran fine as long as I didn't step on the accelerator. When I did back to the same problem. I looked for loose or broken vacuum hoses, but found none and tried spraying carb cleaner in the air in-take just in case the trottle plates picked up some moisture. No luck there either.
Help!! I'd appreciate any advice any of you might have.
Thanks.
