Default Help, crazy idle !

I have a 1990 with all the normal bolt ons, heads intake etc. It has been this way for several years with no problems. A few months ago it began ideling at variable speeds anywhere from normal to as much as 2500 rpms but only when it is fully warmed up. I have worked and checked things and can find nothing wrong and no codes. In desperation I took to the local Ford dealer where the new car tech guy played with it for the better part of 2 days with no results. Would anyone have any idea of what could possibly be wrong ?

if what addermk2 says checks out fine , then make sure no codes exist , and if prob still occurs.....IAT sensor, check that and after that make sure IAC is clean and operational, koer test will verify IAC during low/high rpm test

the fact that there is an application process to allow people to have kids scares the hell out of me...
