Default Idle Problems

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 :-)

Does the Service Engine light come on? I'd check the the TPS voltage when it's idling high and when it's idling normal (upper two wires) and compare. Specs are .54volt at idle. A bad TPS will cause this.

TPS is the Throttle Position Sensor. It's mounted on the side of the throttle body and has a 3 wire connector on it.
