Why does my 8 feel like it's going to die

thats kinda of how it idels. stedy idle but than goes well under 1000 rpm's and bounces a little over 1000 and then under. if I let the car sit for a while it won't do it anymore

When starting my 8 after sitting all night, it takes a few minutes for the idling to level off around 800. Prior to that it bounces between 800 and 1500 while warming up.
When reversing, I find that I do need to give the car more gas than normal.

the car runs at a higher rpm when it's cold because it dumps more fuel to help atomize more fuel so it willl start and also helps warm up the cat/o2 sensors quicker...
