Rough/Flat Idle, Stalling at Stop, Cold Starting Issues

So, I just got this car on the road after it sat for several months. It idles pretty rough around 700rpms when it's in drive. When in park, it idles better around 1000. Has cold starting issues. Takes a lot to get it going after sitting overnight. Have to give it gas and really work it. Then, it often stalls when shifting into gear - even after letting it warm up. It is going through quite a bit of gas - I'm getting about 8-10mpg. Was shifting hard and late and ATF has improved this. Other than the obvious (tune up, air filter, AMM, throttle body) what else should I look at? I'm running a full tank of 93 through it right now dut to the old gas that was in the tank. Turbo recently replaced, no vacuum leaks found. CEL had come on on Sunday, flashed, stalled, then restarted and drove ok, with the CEL on steady. Then, parked left overnight and CEL off and has stayed off since. I'm confused. No codes able to be pulled.
