Re: ecu goes to open loop at hot idle?

Is your engine light on? I had error 505 (system idle malfunction).
I had something similar but not quite the same. Mine was only a problem when my car had been run hard for a fair amount of time. And my revs would refuse to drop at idle. I tinkered with the air fuel ratio a bit gave it a little less fuel if I recall correctly and found a vacuum line that was unhooked and capped it. You can always try swapping your ISC or check your spark plugs and their gapping but I doubt they are your problem. Idle surge as previously stated by crunchy is a common problem with our cars... If its any consolation its not particularly harmful to your engine.
I wish I could help you more.
