little help please

car runs real fat when i first run it and sputters and runs real choppy, then the check engine lite comes on and it smooths out and idles. its a 358 that i put in an iroc that i bought with a 305 tpi and i used the tpi setup off of it . i no i have to do alot of tuning to it to get it to make the power and run to its potential, but so far iv put an adjustable fuel pressure regulator an adjustable maf headers and some other upgrades i no i have to get the ecm programmed and a set of bigger injectors. my question is whats making the car run so shitty cold, tem sensor? which iv replaced and i had egr issues which are fixed now i just wana get the car running wel enough to drive to my other shop where i plan on putting the bigger injectors and having the ecm programmed

Re: little help please

Does the check engine light come on and if so, did you pull the codes?
