PLEASE HELP, IDLE IS SO BAD 200

My idle on my 240 is just going crazy. Firstin the morning the car always alomsot dies and when it warms up and if I drive hard the idle doesnt drop down past 1300 without turning off the car then the idle goes back to normal. Its always a fighting battle with the idle. And somtime if I'm cruising along it jsut stalls when I don't ahve my foot on the gas. Its like the idle has a mind of its own. Hope anyone can help me on this. Peace
