Default Rough Idle Issue

The car has a very rough idle to the point where it almost wants to stall out for the first few minutes that it is running, then it is fine. It is a 1990 5.0 and has a camshaft in it. From what I have been told the camshaft is causing the computer to crazy and so it idles poorly. What will solve my problem? Is this my problem? COMPUTER CHIP SOLVE?
