Dave, I have an '87 900s 16v with the same problem. It will not idle at all, or smoothly until warm. I replaced the spark plugs and wires, cleaned the fuel injectors, replaced rotor and distributor caps, vacuum lines, and fuel, as well as air filter. I tried cleaning out the throttle body with carb cleaner, which has helped some. I am beginning to believe that it is the automatic idle control that has gone bad, because I have replaced everything else that could cause this problem. I would suggest you try to clean out your throttle body first, it is a lot cheaper, then if that still doesn't work, it is probably the automatic idle control. Good luck!
