Good idle, then jumpy idle once warm

My car will start perfect in the mornings, or when it is right cold. When I start it, it idles high(which is normal), then slowly goes down, and once it hits about 1700 it will kinda cut out and go down to 1400 or so, then back up to 1800, and continue doing this. I've tried blipping the throttle, but it doesn't help. Once the car is completely warm though, it will idle nice at about 900-1000. Also, I don't know if this is related, but when the car is warm, it REALLY likes to flood. I would say a 50/50 chance, so I do the unflood trick alot. Anyone?
