Sorry Athal I can't make the BBQ this friday I gotta work, but I will try to
play around with the cold idle valve and see what I come up with. Is it
worth picking one up at PnP and taking the chance if it works.

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
