I'm sorry for shouting but after accumulating 195,000 miles on my 9-5 I think I can talk to this with some authority. My 9-5 idles nice and smoothly and is smoother than my 95 9000CSE (which has 100,000 miles less than my 9-5). I attribute any uneveness in idle to, plugs, fuel, TB, filter but if it is uneven it isn't designed into the car. Check for proper plugs and that they are gapped properly. Run Techron through the fuel system (a couple of times if needed). Make sure the air filter and fuel filter have been replaced. Use Premium fuel for a couple of fillups and run the car hard on the Interstate if possible to remove any carbon buildup that may have accumulated. I have had mine decarbonized twice since new. Good luck!
