Idle changes from 600 to 1500 after warmup

My '83 380 SEC idle goes from 600 RPM to 1000 or even 1500 RPM at times. The idle is fine when you start the car, but fluctuates all the time. What needs to be done?

Not easy to tell right away, many possibilities: Throttle switch, "false" air (I do not know how this is called in English), throttle bypass valve,...
Measuring the different components and regulating pressure will be the only way to find.
