Default Running Rough

Hope someone can help. I have a 95 S with 2.3 Miller that runs well when started cold and will continue to run well until it is restarted warm, then it runs rough for about 2 or 3 min. and clears out to run well again. I removed and cleaned out the EGR and found a split boot on the air intake but still have the problem. Went to Autozone to have CE code checked but they only do 96 and up. How can I check for codes ?? Any suggestions of what the problem can be. Help

There is a small black box under the hood with a lid. On that lid is a diagram of the pins. Jump GRD and TEN with a paperclip and turn the ignition to on and count the check engine light flash's. 1 long flash = 10, 1 short flash = 1. So 2 long flash's and 2 short flash's = code 22.
A common problem on those was a vacuum T under the passenger side removable intake runner breaking. It is the runner nearest the firewall.

No codes in the PCM then. Check the fuel pressure regulator. It is mounted on the fuel injector rail and has a vac hose to it. A cold engine needs a rich fuel mix so it bumps the fuel pressure up cold. If it sticks it would basicly give it too much fuel for a warm engine.

Thanks , Seems to make good sense. Can I get away with just blocking off the vacuum so the regulator will not offer more fuel, or will that prevent a cold start.
