Default Cold Start Problem

Guys, I'm in need of help once again. It's an '01 Z28 with MS4 cam, stage 1 LS6 heads, and headers, and is already tuned. The problem just started a couple of days ago and am not sure if I should be worried. The car was dyno tuned a couple of months ago and like I said, the problem just started. In the morning when I go start the car it doesn't want to stay on and only stays on when I keep my foot on the gas till it warms up a bit, is this normal or is there a problem? It use to stay on without keeping my foot on the gas, but now it doesn't want to stay on. Should I take it back to the shop that tuned it?

Sounds like they need to work on the cold idle some more... take it back to them.

I would just give Nick a buzz and tell him what is going on, I am sure he would look at it for you! Good luck!
