Hot Idle Instability / Micro-Surging

I had a couple of flights where the temperatures at the destination airports were over 100 degF. I had the similar surging described in my earlier post. I kept the RPM to approximately over 1300 for a couple of minutes while doing the checklist before lowering it to over 1000RPM. After the runup, the surging mostly subsided. This is the pattern I expect when flying in the hot summer months.
