Not running correctly

My dad and i got our 93 FD about two years ago, but we don't know much about them. Ive searched the forum but can't find anything that exactly fits our problem.

When we drive it it runs fine at first, then after we stop at a stop sign or stop light it acts like it is stalling out when we take off. The car keeps trying to cut off for 10-15 seconds and then it will run fine until we stop again. We have had it for 2 years now, and didnt have any problems until after we took it to Rotary Performance. We took it back there the day we picked it up because it started this. Brett reset the fuel sensors and the car ran fine for awile. this was a couple months ago, and it just started running bad again. Also, the "Check Engine" light comes on before it does this, and it only happens when taking off at low speeds.

The car is a stcok 93 with 107,000 miles

The error codes are:

16 - EGR valve (Claifornia only)
27 - Metering oil pump

^^^^ Thats according to the website listed by mahjik.

Now that we know this information, what do we need to do?

Well, if you have a stock car and you are throwing a MOP code you need to address that first - you're about to cost yourself an engine. I would advise running premix at 128:1 until you fix the OMP or diagnose the problem. Too much oil is much better than none at all. For info on premix, search.
