Default 850 questions??

hey there, i have had a volvo since my first car and love them!!! Im now a proud owner of a 1994 850 T5 and had two main questions. One was my 850 has a rough idle, it runs great and has no other problem but when its idle it gets to go under and over 1k rpm constantly, anyone know why?? I was also wondering how hard it is to replace the odometer gear that comenly breaks?? thanks for all the help, hope everyones doing well.

I would clean the throttle body and idle motor.

For the Odometer gear check here.

And other alternatives:

- ECT sensor
- MAF sensor
- Tune-up items
- etc...

Some servicing suggestions; see my 1st & 2nd replies at:
