I had the same problem once, it turned out to be the IAC on the front of the throttle body, you can take yours off, there will be 2 round holes, you can trim the part out of the gasket or grind down the metal between the 2 holes and see if that helps, it solved my problem.
 
I had the same problem with my 91. Turned out to be a simple fix, I had left a hose clamp loose on the air intake between the TB and the MAS. It was tricking the computer into thinking it was getting a certain amount of air when it was actually getting a lot more and was too rich to run cold. Don't overlook the small stuff because it could be as simple as that.

Where's the idle at when warm? Just over 500 rpm is ideal, 700 rpm is starting to get a little high but acceptable if it solves your cold start issues.
