Default idle problem

When i get in my erst s2 in the morning or anytime of the day for the first time i start the car and it is idleing at about 1500 rpm.
So i leave it somtimes but if i drive for a few minuites the rev creep up to about 2000rpm, So i open the bonnet and turn the idle screw to lower the revs to about 1100 to be safe from stalling.
right say iv gone in a shop for 15 mins and start the car it idles at about 600rpm So i turn the revs back up and a mile or two down the road the revs are right back up again.
What is this problem it is starting to piss me off now can somone please help (it's not a sticky throttle cable)
thanks for looking
