Car Idles badly and sometimes stalls once warm

I've searched and can't seem to pinpoit the problem. I live in New Mexico and it's starting to get alot warmer outside. My car will start no problem and runs great if it's cool out. However, in the middle of the day once the vehicle warms up completely the rpms will jump between 700 and 100 in neutral. Sometimes the rpms will go so low that the car will just stall. All of my fluid levels are perfect. My plugs and wires have about 2000 miles on them. This just started happening now that the temps in my area are rising. Could it be because it's just sucking in too much hot air through my cone filter? Any Ideas/Suggestions are appreciated.
