Default rough idle

Hi I have a V6 that has a real bad hunting problem when idling.
when the engine is cold it runs ok soon as it heats up it runs like it has a real lumpy cam and hunts.
I have checked for any vacuum leaks , spark plugs and leads ,throttle intake etc , but cant find any faults
Any suggestions ?

Not sure if this may help, but you could check the Idle control valve.

Default try cleaning the idle air control valve

My Audi is experiencing the same problem at this point. The check engine codes indicates rough idle. Making me believe it to be a dirty or dysfunctional IAC. I would try removing and cleaning it first. There is an AW tech article about cleaning the IACV. Take a look at that.
