Default Idle problem

Hello ppl i need help again pls.....my 87 Vert starts immediately when cold and if i drive it for 1/2 hour, stop go into a store, come out a couple minutes later she starts great and idles fine. However if i let her sit 30 to 60 minutes and start her up, she rolls for about 3 seconds to start it, then she idles between 9 -10. WHAT COULD CAUSE THIS ????? Any suggestions? thanks in advance.......Lacy :-)

Lacylady: Suggest you post this in the "tech" section as a lot more people "hang out" in that section. Some of them are darn good on such questions too! I am not familiar with the 87 model as mine is a 89.

Lacylady: I saw your posting in the "tech section". Good move.
Thanks for the flowers in your PM. This forum is great and the majority of people will help you. However, there are a few difficult people. The good greatly overshadows the bad.
