You might check under the hood for a possible vaccuum leak. Thats what it sounds like to me.

Take some carb cleaner and spray it at the base of your throttle body. While this is unlikely the when the intake warms up it could cause the throttle body could flex and let air get past the gasket. If the idle changes when you spray the cleaner you know that it is leaking.
