The AIC on my 1994 9000 with 150,000 miles recently started acting up, idle sometimes sticking at 1300 rpm, sometimes dropping to the point of stalling. Over the weekend, I removed one of the hoses going to the AIC, squirted in some Gumout carb/choke cleaner, reconnected and started the car - took about five minutes total. The inconsistant idle problem appears to be gone. You may want to try this on your car.
On the other hand, AIC valves can and do fail. The AIC (made by VDO, the spedometer maker) on my wife's Audi A4 has completely failed twice already, no amount of cleaning could fix it. The Bosch replacement that I installed a couple of years ago is still fine.
