Car stalls on warm starts

Ok today I went to start the car after it had been sitting for a bout a half hour, and the car jumped to a bout 2000 rpm then dropped quite quickly to normal idle and then again it dropped and stalled. After giving it some gas I could get it started and then it ran fine and strong. This then happened 2 more times today.

Any idea of what this could be?

Thanks

Der Sparkin' Plugs, fuel filter, vacuum leak, blah blah blah.

Or, the mother of all idle problems: a blown (or leaking) lower intake manifold.

Really fun to fix....
