				 Oscillating idle when hot 
 On my Ford Racing Motor 392 CID that came with my BDR, I have this issue with an oscillating idle that occurs after the car sits for a short period of time after driving it for a lengthy period of time.  I take the car for a long run, reaching operating temperature.  Runs fine and idles smoothly at 8K - 9K RPM.  Turn the car off and let it sit for a short period of time (10 minutes or more).  Fire it back up and the idle speed is oscillating from about 9K to as low as 3K.  If I don't feather the gas peddle, it will eventually stall.  If I feather the gas peddle for a period of time while idling (say about 5 minutes), then the idle becomes more consistent and steady.  Motor is the stock Ford Racing Motor circa 2010 that came with my BDR - with about 7K miles on it.  Could this be something related to the PCV valve?
