After your comments my fuel pressure maybe to high at 9.5 psi? I have a holley with a return setup. Any thoughts?
I had much the same problem as you do except my idle returned to the normal immediately. After looking at my fuel pressure I saw it was running over 8 pounds and Holly told me to keep it around 6 1/2 to 7 so I set it at 7 and never had another problem after that. Your fast idle would almost sound as if you are still getting fuel for a few seconds before the feed shuts down to idle.
