940 -Engine cutting out-Any thoughts? 900

I have a 1994 940(non turbo) Since the winter I have noticed that there has been a wide swing in the tachometer when coming to a stop. During the last week the problem has been prgressively worse, the tach swings between 1200rpm and say 400rpm and the engine just cuts out. It starts right up and goes but the only way to keep it from totally shutting down the engine is to keep one foot on the brake and one on the gas pedal to keep the tach at around 900rpm.
As the engine warms up after say 25 minutes it gets better but the tach still swings but the engine does not cut. However as I take off as I was in stop and go traffic yesterday due to an accident the engine sputters or drags as I take off even when warm. Thanks for your thoughts. Mike
