Sounds like could be high fuel pressure maybe fuel regulator inop. I don't have the specs for that perticular vechical for fuel pressure. Possible missfire at idle. That would be my guess.
keep in mind I know very little on TBI engines not sure how they regulate fuel pressure..

Pressure should be around 10-14 i read.
Fuel regulators run off of vacuum.

Are you sure i thought TBI engine run lower pressures. I though it was only actually 13psi at the injector(s) it's self. I belive the fuel regulator is in the TB it's self (not %100 sure). Line pressure might be 68, but I think it's only 13psi at the actual injector if I remember trade school.. but that was a while ago.
Not sure how you go about testing it hopfully somone here will have some insight on that.

SURE, just dig your hole deeper....
The 98 spec is 55 to 66PSI

This is what i found:
- Turn engine OFF to relieve system pressure.
-
- Disconnect negative battery terminal to avoid possible fuel discharge if an accidental attempt is made to start the engine.
- Loosen fuel filler cap to relieve tank vapor pressure.
- The constant bleed feature relieves fuel pump system pressure when the engine is turned "OFF".
- Uncouple fuel supply flexible hose in engine compartment. Install fuel pressure gauge between steel line and flexible hose.
- Tighten gauge in line to insure no leaks occur during testing.
- Connect negative battery terminal and START engine and observe fuel pressure reading. It should be 62-90 kPa (9-13 psi). If not, refer to DIAGNOSTIC CHARTS/FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE TEST (CHART A-6).
- Turn engine OFF to relieve system pressure.
-
- Disconnect negative battery terminal to avoid possible fuel discharge if an accidental attempt is made to start the engine.
- Loosen fuel filler cap to relieve tank vapor pressure.
- Remove fuel pressure gauge.
- Install new O-ring on fuel feed line. Reinstall fuel line.
- Connect negative battery terminal and START engine and check for fuel leaks.
- Install air cleaner assembly.

I said to Zmame that I looked up a 98 spec by mistake.
I posted 10-14psi for the 93 5.7 the guy has posted.
Should have made that a little more clear, sorry.
