Default Car idles funny...

Lately when I get out of class and go to start the R, it begins to idle funny. I'm thinking this is due to the heat outside, b/c it doesn't happen in the morning when I leave for class. It will idle really low and a few times just die if I don't feather the gas pedal. Other times it'll idle like I've got aggressive cams in it or something, but it's all stock. It'll only do this for awhile until my car warms up to operating temperature. It seemed to start happening after I got my Toda timing belt, accessory belts, and water pump replaced at the dealership. I also had them do a valve adjustment. The only other thing I could think of would be the chipped Kenji P28 I installed before the timing belt maintenence, but it idled fine at the time and only after the timing belt maintenence. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Pull your spark plugs & look at them.
Post pics of them too

Give us a detailed list of your setup's specs.

Well my mods are as follows:

Kenji obd2b--obd1 conversion harness
Kenji chipped P28
K&N drop in filter
NGK iridium spark plugs
NGK spark plug wires
Toda timing belt

Everything stock on a 83k 2001 USDM ITR motor.

Again this all started happening after the valve adjustment and timing belt maintenence I had done at the dealer. The valves sound better than they did when I took it in, I don't hear any ticking. Just earlier it had a hard time turning over though.... Thanks guys and gals!
