Are you saying that when the car warms up, the idle goes up? Where does it idle at cold and where at warm? Did you change the throttle body? Do you have a vacuum leak?

Your car looks like it came straight from Mexico.

You are trying to keep the car as loud as it is when it starts from a cold start right?

I don't think there is anything you can do about that, its all computer controlled.
