Just wanted to share this problem.

1991 940 turbo with 182,000 miles.

Started off as a little stumble as soon as I let off the gas at highway speed. I could see the tac drop 100-200 rpms, no check engine light.
Then the car started to idle erratically after coming to a stop light. It would never completely stall.
Cold starting was fine. Starting after hot would sometimes require pressing the gas pedal.
Later the car stumbled a lot even at lower speeds.

I cleaned the IACV (Idle air control valve), but still had the deceleration stumble.
I was going to clean the throttle body, but I had done it 2 years ago along with replacing the main fuel pump, and the fuel pressure regulator.

Just to be sure I removed the vacuum hose from the front of the fuel pressure regulator and gas poured out of the vacuum line! The regulator went bad after only two years. I bought a Bosch fuel regulator from a local import dealer for $72 and the car idled and ran beautiful after.
