Default Please Help having issues

My dad has an 1992 corvette, thats having an issue. Usually first startup time it sounds like its missing and kinda runs like crap, when it warms up the issue seems to go away, he took the car to get scanned and one issue thats appearing is spark before there should be, any help would be appriciated.

your mom has a 89 and your dad a 92.

And I wish I was a moderator.

Idle Solenoid maybe ! It's a common problem someone should chime up.

When the engine reaches operating temp the PROM or ECM changes mode and fuel burn .
Sounds like temp sensor /thermostat are working OK .
