Rough idle after hot restart

Hi gang,

I have a 95' Riv that typically runs great, but recently when I start the engine when hot (like after stopping to fuel up), the engine idles very rough, best way to describe it is "chugging", after a few seconds it will smooth out to a high idle then settle into a normal idle, when this happens the check engine light comes on and stays on till next restart, engine starts and idles fine every time when cold.
I have a very nice Bosch code reader, but as most of you know, the 95' is a crossover year (OBD-l computer with an OBD-ll interface) so I can't download the codes, and the only place locally that can read the codes charges $89.00 to do it, so I'm hoping someone here has some ideas.
I have recently replaced the TPS, fuel filter, and plugs & wires, any thoughts would be appreciated....thanks!

you need a scanner not a code reader.

My guess is the MAP died of old age.

My mistake, I do have a scanner, but it's not compatible with the 95', the 95' has an OBD-l compliant computer but an OBD-ll plug under the dash, it simply will not communicate with the computer.
I've read there are some semi-affordable scan tools that will overcome this problem, but I just dropped $300 on the Bosch unit I have (that says it's compatible with my Riviera on the packaging), unfortunately it is not, I even called Bosch customer service where I was informed the scanner was NOT compatible with the 95" Riviera but was told I could not return it, same story from the auto parts store I bought it at, so I just can't afford to buy another scan tool at this time.
Is there a way to test the MAP sensor "hillbilly style" or do I need a compatible scanner?
If not, I guess I'll just have to take it to the shop and see what they say, I love this "era" of Rivieras but I sure am getting tired of pouring buckets of money into it just to keep it running decent, wish I could afford to replace it.....lol.

Thanks again for your response and suggestion, I appreciate it !

Boy did I luck out !!!......My whole "hot start" problem was simply the fact that after the mechanic changed my TPS he did not get the plug in all the way, I pushed it in till it "clicked" and the car is fine now.....who'd of thunk it, eh?....lol.
Just wanted to post it so anyone else experiencing this problem can be sure to check the TPS and it's plug.

Thanks again albertj for your suggestions, they were very informative, but I'm happy it turned out to be so simple.

As long as I'm here, can anyone suggest an affordable scan tool that overcomes the whole 1995 OBD-l computer/OBD-ll interface issue?
