Jimmy, I'm am having the exact same problem. I might not be able to go this weekend if I can't figure it out.
I have to gas it to get it to start. It Idles at 1100 rpm. When I put it in drive or reverse it almost stalls. When I give it gas to move it stalls out unless I baby it.
I've replaced the TPS, IAC and distributor cap and rotor. It drove great after I replaced the IAC on Friday and I thought it was problem solved. I drove it all weekend with no problems. I just ran out to the store and it just started all over again.

). I doubt it would matter for yours.There's an idea! I could use some brushing up on driving manual.
I can fix it real quick. Just touch off the airbags with a 9V battery.
