When was the last time you did a tune-up ? Look for a vacuum leak or vacuum hose cracked. Clean throttle plate and IAC motor.

For the record or future reference, this is almost always the lower intake gaskets. The 3.4's were very common for this problem, the idle would bounce up and down and somtimes stall. As the engine warmed up, the heads/intake would expand and seal the leak allowing the engine to run alright when warm.
