Hi,
I have an 87 9k T and 86 9k T. The 87 blows smoke when it starts up but it clears in seconds. In my case the smoke is cause by leaking valve seals, and is not a big deal cause its just a little bit of oil burning up after leaking onto the cylinders when the car has sat for a while.
If you are loosing coolant, that is the level is going down and there is white smoke all the time, then its the head gasket. If the smoke is only at start up then other things may be at play.
The poor idling maybe cause by a failing AMM or AIC valve. Noticing the condition of the fluid level over time is the best point to start.
Good luck
