Check your coolant level. Mine was idling fine when it was cold but when it warmed up it would only idle about 500 rpm. I topped off the coolant (it was about a quart low) and it's been idling fine since.

Mine does that, too.
So does my buddies '93 4Runner 3.0, and it's freshly rebuilt.

I don't worry about the rpm so long as the oil pressure is at an acceptable level.
