Default more idle questions/problems....need help

when i start my 89 (cold) it idles VERY smooth, sure a little high due the cold, but when it gets to opeating temp, 175 plus, the idle is horrible, it jumps all over the place. I tried to adjust the TPS, no sucsess.....it seems fine for a while, then again, it's all over the place. Am I missing something here.....help !!
