Functionally check the rad water temp switch (lower left corner, if applicable). Should be closed above about 60*F...

Good-sized vac leak will also render the 3K system invalid...

BAC system still operational on the car? If so, check it per the FSM or Haynes...

why does it feal rough when the engine is cold

When's the last time you checked/adjusted the TPS?

89tracerman

never just got the car 1 month ago

Do that (either do a search or use the FSM) for the TPS, and check for vac leaks, among the other items mentioned by everybody...
