Mine did that when I got it and they replaced the IAC and the PCM...they steam cleaned it or something and it burnt up the PCM I guess. It would randomly buck/die and wouldn't idle for crap. Id try the cheaper things like you said but that could also be a culprit.

Well I put a new IAC on my 98 and it ran great for 2 days.This morning when i got ready to leave work it died again.It took about 4 minutes of trying to start it and it started up.It ran great all the way home and did not die out anymore.Guess I'll have to try something else.

You need to replace the ABS / Speed Sensor thing in the top of the rear differential as well...that is why the ABS light is coming on...
The computer uses that sensor to work the IAC and if it is not working properly, the IAC will not work properly...eventually, if it gets bad enough, it will stall every time you come to a stop...

I just drove it to go pay a bill.No problems.When i got home this morning I disconnected the battery.i figured i would let the computer reset itself.I need to use it to go to work the rest of this week.I will try a new ABS sensor this weekend and let y'all know how it goes. Thanks

Well I could not wait till the weekend.I went ahead and replaced the ABS sensor it made no difference still stalled on me.I guess its time to spend the big bucks and buy the fuel pump next.When it died on me last night i was able to pump the gas and keep it from dying out completely.I will have to wait till next week cause i don't the $254 for the pump this week.Will let yall know what happens.Thanks
