Default Idle problem

Some times when i start upp my car there is no idle at all,
have to keep it alive for a few minutes and then suddenly
it idles at 700 rpm as it should, after driving for while the
idle drops/dissapears again and the engine stops running !?
During normal cruise eng, runs great.
It doesnt matter if the eng, is cool or hot!!
Thankfull for any thougts!!

Service the IAC (method on my site); it wouldn't hurt to clean the TB and throttle plates too (only use intake cleaner).
