Sounds like teh Idle Air Control may be getting clogged. On TPI motors they tend to get carboned up at higher mileage. Just take it off and clean it up.
If I remember right, it should be screwed into the drivers side of the throttle body. Or the left. LMAO. Looks like a quarter-sized cylinder with a plug for 4 wires on the end.

It is under the TPS sensor on passenger side of Throttle body. I would also remove and clean, then adjust. The directions for this are here: https://www.thirdgen.org/newdesign/tech/tpimod2.shtml
