New injectors- stalls at idle

I just installed new DDP injectors. The install went smooth, and the truck idles and runs out fine. But, sometimes, when it is in drive or reverse, and I let off the throttle, it dies. Not all the time, and if I feather the throttle instead of just letting my foot completely off of it, it will idle down and stay running.
It used to do this once in a blue moon, and only when it was cold (the engine). It is getting better (I have put about 100 miles on the new injectors), but it still does it. Will it work itself out, or do I need to look into something or make an adjustment?

When warmed up, it idles between 5 and 6 hundred.

Is that with an external tach or with the dash? Either way thats about 200 too low. Bumping it to 800 will help..

This should fix you up. I have mine a little higher near 835-850 with a phototach, but I don't have an auto so I don't have to worry about a push through when in gear.

After I got home from work today, and let things cool down, I contorted myself and adjusted the low speed idle bolt. What a difference! Not only did it cure the stalling, but now, it fires on the first hit- before, I would have to hit the starter, hit it a second time, and it would start.
