    the most common problem to cause this is an air leak between the afm and throttle body when the engine warms up the ducting can expand sealing the leak, other causes are air regulator, fuel supply and ignition coil, resistor, leads and plugs, aac valve and idle air controller valve.

    also a blocked dirty air filter.
