Need help with Idle Speed!!!

Hey! I just got my new 91' Camaro RS a little over a week ago and I have been having troubles with the idle speed. The car has a V8 5.0 Engine. When I first start the car for the day the idle speed will be running good at 1000 RPM's but the more I drive it the idle speed goes down to 750 - 500 RPM's and it sometimes will even go up to 1500 RPM's. Does anyone know what could be wrong.

Is it carbureated or fuel injection? Could be a sticking choke or bad choke heater.

750 is about the norm 500 is low is it a steady idle or does it surge?
