Default truck starting issue

1998 Dakota, when I start it up after it has warmed up it doesn't want to stay running. It has a rough idle until it finally kind of fixes itself. I was thinking throttle body should be cleaned but I'm not sure of what else to look for.
Thanks!

IAC on the back of the throttle body sticking likely. Remove, clean it and it's port liberally with brake parts cleaner, try not to move the piston if you can help it.
