If you cover the throttle body opening and it idles down and dies you know the problem is within the throttle body area or computer control wires etc.If it doesnt you have a big vacuum leak.

Your welcome thats what were here for.I would check for a vacuum leak before suspecting the idle air control valve.

I will check for the vacuum leak first. That seems like it would be easier to fix.
