TBI 305 starts and dies immediately

Ran fine, but all of a sudden all it does is start and die immediately, if I give it some gas it'll run fine, but as soon as you let off it dies.

This is my mom's 91 Caprice and I need some ideas ASAP, my first thought was IAC, but I know nothing of TBI and am still learning about my TPI.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nevermind, I think I fixed it. Seems to just have been a dirty connection at the IAC plug.

Guess I should have looked at it harder before posting.

That also is a #1 symptom of bad MAF or connection. Just for future reference.
