Default 93 LT1 Idle Issue

It was suggested I might try a new thread for this, so Im going to do just that. Car is actually a 93 Z28.

..........when its cold, it will idle well for a few minutes...then almost dies, regains its composure, runs well for a few more minutes then almost dies again....repeat until its up to operating temperature, then it runs like a top. Very strong in all rpm ranges as well as idle conditions...

Replaced Parts List Some parts in the list have between 3-5k miles on them and some are as new as a few days ago!

Fuel Pump/filter
ICM
IAC
Coil MSD
Opti MSD
plugs Irridium
wires packard 8mm
evap canister solenoid
egr valve
egr control solenoid
temp sender in water pump
map sensor
