Default Engines dies at idle

Need some help please. Search did not help. 90 Vette, 100K, automatic. Car starts normally but dies immediaely if I do not give it gas. Runs fine, cold or normal op temp until I release the pedal...it dies again. Car starts great, runs great, does not miss, will not run at idle. Replaced the fuel filter and idle air control value. Looking at throttle position sensor next. Your suggestions please.

Thanks for the advice. I did google it before I posted. Last time I checked this was the C4 Tech/Performance forum and my "90" is a C4.

TPS, IAC, base timing, assorted vac leaks, fuel pressure.

after all that, explore ANY and ALL codes. FSM will detail on how to set the min idle & get the TPS done right.

Not sure about that year but is there a alignment for the TPS.

Also see if the EGR is closing properly and moving smoothly.
