Spray carb/t-body cleaner in lower intake area and see if the idle changes
If so, you need upper and lower intake gaskets

Good morning, Before you go to crazy, this problem could be as simple as an "engine coolant temp. " sensor. the "ECT" tells your vehicles computer when the engine is cold, at this point the ecu (engine control module or computer) will advance the timing on the engine for cold idle. this could explain why your vehicle runs fine after warming up. I am no mechanic I am simply relaying exactly what I went through after replacing every fuel sensor on my truck it turned out to be the coolant temp sensor wich was $15.00 after 3 fuel sensors at over $50. each. GOOD LUCK
