Maybe clogged injectors. Try running some cleaner thru the next tank. Lucas, Gumout, etc.

It's normal for a cold engine to rev up. It sounds more like a misfire than an idle problem. The ignition system is a likely culprit, especially the external coil. Probably best to get rid of it.

If you don't have TPS or MAP codes, or P0505, then I'd start with the ignition system.
