very high idle [saabnow]

Subject: very high idle
=================
My 2.3i 900S (Feb 1994, bought new in the US) gets this
very annoyingly high idle now and then. When I start
the engine, it begins at about 3000 rpm, slowly rising
as long as I don't engage the clutch, drive, or shut
the engine off to avoid neighbor complaints (gets hard
to diagnose the problem in the driveway) ... it can
do this for 2 or 3 days, then disappear for a while.

A year ago I replaced the (vacuum?) hose between
the 'engine top' and the intake, which fixed this
problem until it reappeared a month ago. There are
no visibly worm wires or hoses.

Several FAQs/HOW-TOs describe 'hitting the AIC gently',

Several FAQs/HOW-TOs describe 'hitting the AIC gently',
'checking the coolant temperature sensor wire', 'measuring
ohm across the AIC' etc, but I am not sure if it
relates my car -- what is the engine management system
specification of this car (2.3 i 900s, 1994)?

Anyone? Thanks.
