If the idle is screwy all the time warm and cold start with coolant level and bleed the system. Then if that does not take care of it check for vacuum leaks on the intake manifold and gasket. Smoke bomb in the intake will find the culprit.

Suggested Repair

If the rough idle occurs both warm and cold, check the coolant level and bleed the cooling system. If that does not fix it, inspect the intake manifold and gasket for vacuum leaks using a smoke test.
