Default idle prob

when I turn my car on and its cold it idles very lumpy at 1400 rpm but will clear up when driven down the road a bit then when it starts to warm up the idle drops to around 600 and want to stall!! once its fully warm it will idle at 1100 rpm?? which is what I set it at when it was hot!

whats going on??

all leads, plugs, distributer ect are new. injectors are old but not sure if they would cause this problem?

any ideas?

Air leak!!

Check all vaccum hoses/inlet hoses/breather and gaskets for signs of air leaks!

Almost certainly (as john above says) airleak.
I've seen a number (recently) of plastic hoses from plenum to brake servo
which have been cut and joined with rubber hose and jubilee clips/a very difficult job to totally eliminate leaks check this as well.
