Low idle speed/engine dies
My '93 has been dying off and on in the mornings; sometimes the idle speed is normal and the car runs fine other times the idle drops to 400 or so and dies, the voltage drops accordingly with the engine speed.
I can keep the idle up with the throttle and eventually, it will idle on its own normally.
The only repairs I have made to it in the last year have been new plugs, wires, ignition module, coolant temp sensor, and fuel pump, all of these have been some time ago so I do not believe they are related. I was thinking about going to autozone and having them pull a code but everytime I am able to go the car runs fine
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I would think the IAC (Idle Air Control) is lazy or need to be cleaned out along with the throttle body.
