Default erractic warmup idle?

When my car is warming up the idle jumps up and down between 2500 and 1500. Like constantly jumping. It won't come off the high idle by tapping the gas but it will go back to normal after the car is warm. Any ideas as to what is causing this?

Well, I have the same problem along with the fact that I surge on acceleration and I have no vacume leakage so we've came to the conclusion that it is a bad TPS.

No, no, no.

It's the fast idle thermo valve.
