LOW IDLE SPEED 850 1994

My name is Ian and i live in brisbane Australia. In 1994 I was over in the UK and whilst there had a 1994 850 GLE Estate made to Australian specs in Sweden and imported it back into Australia on my return in 1995. I have always maintained it and love driving it. It has done 198000 kilometres and just recently it became ill. in short it started to blow alot of smoke and ran very rough.

I had it checked out and there was too much crankcase pressure so I had the throttle body cleaned and the breather cleaned. The car now drives like new except for one thing. It idles at between 550 and 650 rpm and no one seems to now how I can get it back up to the 850 rpm it should be.

I was hoping someone can help.
