Ok, I'm pretty sure this is right.
after you get the engine where it will idle and not stall:
5 minutes in "drive" with the wheels blocked OR with the e-brake "on" so it won't roll. (not holding the foot brake)
then immediately:
5 minutes in "drive" with the wheels blocked OR with the e-brake "on" so it won't roll..with the A/C on MAX and high fan. (not holding the foot brake)
then immediately:
5 minutes in "drive" with the wheels blocked OR with the e-brake "on" so it won't roll...with the A/C "off". (not holding the foot brake)
then immediately:
5 minutes idling in "Park".
Then go drive it for about 15-20 minutes. Then after about 50 miles of driving the PCM should be all set.
***I'm pretty sure thats it, but maybe a search shows it s a bit different.*****

then they should retune it for free because of the problem ur having! but then again i would never get a mail order tune becasue every car runs different with different mods and it wont be the same as a dyno tune.
tell them there are other shops that do it for $400 or $500 u can negotiate with them, tell them that u will be doing business with them from now on and u will be there all the time. work out a deal. or try to see if the mail order tuner can tune it for free first
