B23E = no O2 sensor (lambda) and no CIS. Sounds like the base idle is set
correctly (900rpm warm), it's the cold idle valve on the valve cover that is
probably not working as it once did. You can muck around with it and make sure
it works, but you may not have much luck. I'm sure you're whole intake,
throttle body, flow plate could use a cleaning, that would probably help.
Do the non-lambda kjet cars have a warm up regulator for fuel? I can't
remember, but if they do, part of that could be faulty. Hopefully you'll be at
the bbq and we can take a look. Like Brad said too, get a manual if you don't
have one, you can learn alot just by flipping through it.

o2 sensor or cis unit (idle valve) for sure. your heating cct in O2 may be
fried, causing your engine to run like crap until exhaust heats the sensor to
1400+. Your idle valve can be checked by cleaning then exposing to different
temps, under which it should open/close accordingly. There is plenty of info
on the valve in haynes manuals.

hay guys my volvo like to idel at about 300 rpm's when you just start it up
for the first time, it's very near to shut off. But when it warms up it sits
at about 900 rpm's where it should. I don't want to mess around with idleing
screw because it will fix one problem and wrech the other. Please help me
