1999 Saab 9-3 Convertible needs help urgently?

I am a beautiful yellow Saab 9-3 Convertible. My lady owner is totally in love with me, but I have a problem. Every time my engine warms up I take control of the throttle and make the engine race & slow down at will. My owner has no control. The only way she can stop me doing this is to disconnect my air flow thingummy and that makes me a real pig to start. Have you any clues as to why I am doing this and what can be done too stop me?

i have the same problem, either the idles increases, or decreases to the point that it stalls.

So what fixed the problem?

I can fix anything but this car

chances are the problem is the idle air control valve which is sticking, you can try replacing it which will cost a bob or 2, alternatively remove, spray some carb cleaner into it, shake to remove everything and allow to dry (seconds).

replace and see what happens
