Yes, a different part number - you can use 86/87/88... I'm sure you can find the actual part number or Bosch number by searching this site. But, it's almost assuredly the AMM. The issue on the '85 was far more subtle than that. The 1000rpm rev until warm is usually caused by a bad AMM. When the car is cold it relies 100% on the AMM for mixture. Once the O2 sensor warms up and starts providing feedback things tend to level out. When it's cold, and the AMM is providing bad data the idle is unstable as it leans out, starts to stall, and ECM opens the idle valve to keep it running, revs high, idle valve closes, gets lean, nearly stalls, and again and again. Sometimes you will find vacuum leaks, a bad O2 sensor, a bad NTC sensor, or on an '85 bad wiring, but the AMM is always the thing nobody changed for 30 years because the car generally runs right.
