Has anyone ever had idle surging ????

I started my car this morning and moved it right away, I didn't let it warm up. When I put it in reverse, the rpms started to dance a little bit.....it didn't do it in drive though Has this ever happened to anyone esle, or was it just because I didn't let it warm up a little? It did get down to 35 degrees last night, but thats not all that cold!

I've never had that with the car, but I have with the truck (usually when it's really cold out, or I let off the starter just as it's about to fire. If I had kept the starter going for a fraction of a second, it wouldn't be a problem).

:P
