Postings are harder to read when you "forget" to use punctuation and capital letters at the beginning of sentences.

Verify fuel pressure.

Connect a scan tool, verify every sensor, and the computer outputs. I'm thinking that by '92, you should be able to select an idle speed with the scan tool, and see if the computer can hold that speed (IAC test.)

Unplug the TCC from the brake switch and see if it goes away.

Well, I guess you've fixed it.

Well done.
