I THINK you've consistently referred to this as a "warm idle lope." 
What if it's the result of the idle speed being set too low. The FI 
will sense that it's too low and try to boost it up a bit to keep the 
engine from dying.

Try increasing your idle speed adjustment a tiny amount, maybe 50 
rpm.
