Check all wiring surrounding the engine bay. Make sure the grounds are in place & tight/secured @ the engine block, the chassis, & from the cab.
Verify all vacuum related necessities for the motor have the vacuum they need & that the lines are in good shape. You need to also determine why the vacuum charcoal canister had an open port (Did the sloppy techs leave another line off? Is something else not connected? Did they break something & not correct it??).
Verify you have 13+ volts going to the battery.
Verify you have 12+ volts going to the ignition.

I would do all of this before I drove it around the block again.

thanks alot, did what ya said.. everything checks out.. Thanks all. I really appreciate the help i got here.. OFF FOR A DRIVE
