Default Engine almost stalls

Now, I'm sure that I'll get at least one person to tell me to search through old threads, but I did and I couldn't find any real solution. The problem is that sometimes after I start my '94 up, it almost stalls so I have to feather the gas to keep the rpms up. This will last for a couple, maybe about 5-10 seconds, and then it will idle normally. Does anyone have any suggestions about what could be causing this? Thanks!

Check your codes but, it could be the TPS (Throttle Position) sensor.

I would look into the idle air control and make sure it's doing what it's supposed to. If it's not working or stuck in one position it can cause the problems you describe.
