1989 350 runs rough for a while after ineling

1989 suburban 350 1/2 ton Engine starts fine and runs great but if it sits and idles for a time it seems to load up on fuel and runs rough even back fires for a time ,but when it finally gets up to speed ,3to5 miles on Interstate it will smooth out and run fine.

Idle good when cold, hotter it gets the worst it idles especially when sitting at stop lights

simple test for a vacuum brake booster
star and run the engine at idle without applying the foot brake
if it gets worse when the foot brake is applied , it is a vacuum leak in the booster ( replace the booster )
otherwise check for failed vacuum hoses including under dash control lines , vacuum leak at the manifold or EGR unit

Chevy 350 express van 2000 runs great idles rough

If it does not do it in park or neutral, it could be a number of things. One being a sticking Torque Converter Clutch solenoid (TCC). It could be that it needs a simple tune-up. How often does this problem happen?
