idle failure

Any ideas on what might cause the following problem? Car idles and drives ok around town and freeway, but after driving for half an hour on freeway the engine can't hold idle without my foot on the gas pedal. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Re: idle failure

How many miles are on the vehicle? Is the check engine light on? Does the vehicle have to cool down before it will hold idle again? Post is very broad.

Re: idle failure

vehicle has 220K miles, no CEL, and it does not have to cool all the way down to hold idle.
