Default 1990 e303 cam idle Issues

just had an e303 cam installed with a pro comps intake. every time i start the car if i do not rev the engine it will stall out.

if i rev it a few times from a start, it works fine. not just a cold start, it does it if for example i run into the store then go back to crank it and the same thing, not sure what is causing this. im new to cams so have no clue if this is normal.

car has sct super chip, full exhaust, electric fan, t-5 transmission, and 4.10 gears.

im thinking that since i have the super chip in the computer that's not tuned for the cam and intake yet, that may be the cause, but im not sure due to the fact that im not positive how advanced these computers are in the foxes, i have unlimited free tunes, so gonna mail the chip in and have it reprogrammed for the cam/intake, any ideas what else may be causing the problem?

take the chip out, no tune is needed for a e-303, I've run more aggressive cams with no tune and no idle issues, look for vaccum leaks and make sure a base idle reset was properly done, but look for vaccum leaks first
