If your issues are occuring only at idle and once going the truck seems normal - it sounds like the IACV could be the likely culprit. I don't know the 92 engine well but if it has an IACV, pull it off (its simple) and check that the motor is still good with an ohmmeter. It should be about 10 Ohms both ways. Then make sure that the motor isn't shorting on the housing by using the meter again: One probe on a terminal and the other probe on the housing. It should be an open circuit. Do the same thing on the other terminal and it should also be open.
In my case the motor was fine but the actual valve assembly was all sludged up and was likely stuck. You can try to flush it as others have using their suggestions.
If the engine is rough at places other than idle than IACV is not the likely cause. This thing is specific to idle only.
Good Luck.
