Start with looking for vacuum leaks. If the injector seals are hard they should probably be replaced.

The car starts easy, seeks for a few seconds as normal when cold, then settles down to a steady idle around 700 RPM.  However, after driving for awhile and the temp gets up, when you roll to a stop it warbles and every now and then surges slightly like it's going to seek.  Then it settles down to a slightly rough idle, sometimes surging every few seconds.
