Irregular idle 200 1989

Clean the throttle body
Clean the IAC
Check for vac leaks in particular areas that would tend to open up when cold

90% of the time one of those three are your issue but...

My 940 was displaying half of these symptoms (rough cold idle and difficulty rev'ing cold) and it was a one-off ignition component issue. Basically the spark was having to jump a gap between the sparkplug nipple and stud before jumping the gap at the other end of the plug on two different plugs.
