Does it run ok at highway speed? Clean the throttle-body and check the iac. Any applicable trouble codes? If you have the spider fuel system, they are noted for problems. The fuel poppets may need cleaning?

Did they give you any warranty, if so, talk to the people that did the work. What kind of work was done?
