Default Cobra Intake

Hello Fello stang lovers, i have a 92 lx
had a 93 Cobra upper and lower intake installed,under drive pullies,smog pump eliminator pully,
and a custom tune done at a local speedshop,
now i get the car back and when you 1 st start it up,it starts then dies....
then you restart it and it idles kind of rough for a little while and then smooths out....
b4 i took it into the speed shop it ran like a watch what gives.....
i was told when i went to pick it up about this problem.....
and that i need to get a egr block off plate and that would solve the problem.....
i already put a new IAC on it last week but that did nothing.................
any sugguestions?????/

You ned to seal the EGR Outlet with a plate and gasket with rtv. It leaks very easy.

Other than that, turn the idle up some.

I'd take it back and make them fix what they broke... But that's my opinion...

well took it out today for about an hour of driving and it seems to be running on the hot side,just wondering would the under drive pullies cause this, by the way put on a new waterpump just b4 storing the car, also the electric fan is wired directly to the ignition and it still got up to the "N" on normal factory guage on dash, although it didnt overheat im still concerned about a nice 90 degree day....
also still has the original radiator, also there is a new 180 degree thermostat installed also...

any suggestions????

please help
