Engine racing when hot

I have a problem with my 1989 900S, non-turbo. Can't get hooked up with my mechanic for more than a week but I need to try something since the car is my daily driver.
When the engine is warm it is racing - in an up and down pattern running from about 1500 RPM up to over 2000 in an up and drop cycle of about three seconds per cycle. It is running very rich when this happens - a gasoline smell and a flooded engine when I turn the ignition off (often necessitating cranking for several seconds with the ignition off to re-start). Mileage drops from its usual 29-30 mpg to under 25.
Any tips that an average shade tree mechanic could try before hitting the garage?
All help appreciated greatly!
