My Chiltons book lists the codes a bit differently than the last posters site.

Code: 5-1-1 Long-term idle air trim, idle
Code: 5-1-2 Short-term fuel trim.

The previous posters codes were listed as OBD II codes. A 1995 960 is not OBD II.

As far as the cause of code 5-1-1, it could be your idle air motor as mentioned in the code. However, it also could be a leaky intake manifold gasket. In order to check the intake manifold gasket, spray carb cleaner around the gasket with the engine idling. If the engine stumbles you have a leak.
