Hyperactive CGT

[Alan Kramer]

This sounds to me like the auxilary air regulator is sticking/stuck open.  
It's a black valve bolted to the IM just below the throttle body (way below) 
it is held on by two allen-head bolts.  It allows air to bypass the throttle 
body on cold starts.

I'd try disconnecting it where it meets up with the intake manifold (one of 
the two downward pointing vacuum hoses on the IM and plug both lines.  If it 
then runs fine, it's the culprit.
