I own a 96 Volvo 850 non turbo when your driving it and giving it gas the engine runs at an even RPM but when idling the RPMs go up and down but rapidly short. I was wondering if maybe it the airflow mass meter?

      The power steering pump it may be the intake manifold and spray stream of water spray bottle and see if the vacuum leak around cylinder check engine light on if that was the idle speed changes the power.
