Any ideas??/ 


I have seen this many times and can duplicate this. 
This happens when you have an air leak or when the fuel
mixture is adjusted too lean. In your case it may one of
two things : your air regulator may have stayed open or
one of your engine's temp sensors is leaning the mixture
too much upon warm up. 

If idle is high and surging ,
Check your air regulator by removing the rear hose when
the car is warm and feel if it is sucking air, place your finger 
over the hose hole, does the idle change ?

Checking sensors varies in proceedure. Do you have a sensor
in your intake manifold or on the base of the air regulator ?
Do you have the head temperature sensor at the top of the 
head or at the side ?
