I'm working with a 1990 s-10 2.8 m/t. On a cold start it has a rough idle for the first minute or two then it will take itself to a fast idle till its warmed up then calm down to normal. Has anyone dealt with this tsb before? To me if you have a problem with the prom giving the computer wrong info it should be a problem that has always been there from when the truck was new. Not something that changes. Does anyone have some helpful info on this subject?

Check your timing with the timing wire unattached from the PCM in the passenger compartment.

Sounds like you timing is advanced.
