Default Ram Idle problem

I have a 1998 dodge ram 1500 with a 360. Currently sometimes the idle seems to go real low and on a few occasions it dies while idling. Any thoughts?? it has over 200k miles on it.

Disconnect battery, remove throttle body, remove IAC motor from throttle body, and clean everything REALLY well. Reassemble, reconnect battery, and see if that doesn't help. (common problem.) If it still acts strange, test the throttle position sensor....
