You probably need to perform an 'Idle Learn Procedure', but you should
also make sure the shop didn't leave a jumper on your SERVICE CONNECTOR
and look at your distributor to see if they jacked it to the left or the
right of it's adjustment slot to compensate for a timing belt that's out
of time. (you can't do that and have it work correctly).
Make sure your coolant reservoir is at MAX (this is in your owner's
manual) as well, since the engine has now had time to 'burp' by now.
It sounds like you've found another bad mechanic.
