Most of the things you replaced would have little effect on the problem. You need a new mechanic.
You have not mentions the coolant temp sensor which would peak my interest as it is a temp variation problem.
That sounds pretty normal for a 3.0 to me. They're supposed to idle high until they warm up.
Kyle I think what they meant is that it idles from 400-700 in a surging up and down when it warms up, but yes, your correct, it is suppose to idle faster the colder it is
