Default 87 Van idle fluctuation

My van idle fluctuates between 1000 and 3100 RPM at idle. Starts after
engine has warmed a bit. Occasionally, the prob disappears for awhile, but
happens almost all the time. Any suggestions?

Coolant temperature sensor would be my first guess. they're usually pretty
cheap to so even if you blindly replace it, it's less than $20.
