Idling Weirdness 240-260 82

Hello all,

It never fails,just when you think your car is running good,something

pops up.My 82 244 DL with B21F LH-1 electronic fuel injection is jumping up

in idle speed intermittantly.Not sure of exactly how much ,but I'm guessing

between 2 and 2.5 k RPMs. Notice it mostly after a drive of 15 mins or more

and when I stop in my parking spot,put it in park the idle races.I can usually

kick it down,but it will creep back up again if I leave it running.

Tonight it was surging,varying up and down.Any thoughts??Help?? Ideas??

Problem only seems to be when idling...Thanks in advance...
