I have had the same problem with the fluctuating RPM's on a cold day. I have found that there are two things that can cause this problem. One is if the climate control is on when the car hasn't heated up yet. So what I do is let the car sit for 5 mins before starting the climate control and have had no problems. The other time this problem occurs is if I drive the car when it is still cold, I mean just starting the car and pulling out to move it or something. Depending on how far I have to move it since my driveway is huge, it causes the RPM's to fluctuate when the car is put into PARK again. Anyways, I hope this helps.

There is service bulletin for the throttle body which describes these symtoms. I can't remember if it applies to a 92, or just 91s.
