I'd try a new o2 sensor first.

Check all the basics first

Than use a scanner to make sure all sensors jive when hot and cold.

88 still has cold start injector, that could leak, bad injectors could leak, weak ignition could cause it or a bad 02, failing temp sensor, etc

Check everything out and than see where u stand.

Try to educate yourself about what it is doing before u throw things at it.

later
