Highway, constant speed driving, or around town, stoplight to stoplight
driving?

Nope. Could be many things at this point. Coil, fuel pump, water temp,
ect.

Its tough to be able to pinpoint this problem not know the condition of
the car. You could start replacing items until it stops. That can be a
spendy endeavor, but then again, gives you lots of spare parts as a plus
side. 

It just might be that your warm idle speed is too low. Ever thought of a
1/4 turn on the idle screw? Id try that first myself. Then start spending
CA$H.
HTH!
