Idle air control solenoid or throttle position sensor...maybe even the fuel pressure regulator.
Also check for vacuum leaks

Re: 1990 k5 blazer TBI help
those o2's in the obd1 vehicles weren't known to be the best or the longest living I'd put in a new o2 sensor they're cheap. We used to put a ton of those in!

Replace coolant temperature sensor (on top of intake, next to upper radiator hose). Also replace O2 sensor.

My 87 suburban (92 TBI 454) does the same thing. Harrisperformance recommends a heated O2 from a 94+ 4.3. I havnt tried it yet.
