My Ranger keeps dying while in gear and in neutral. Weather the clutch is in while in gear or clutch is not compressed in neutral it is still dying. This is the first time it has done this in the 5+ years of me driving it. What could be causing it to do this?

If it will not idle, look at a probable faulty idle control motor, if the engine will stay running with the throttle just above idle it will probably be the IAC
