92 Camaro rs v6, doesnt run great

Recently bought, decent shape.
If it is left sitting for more than a few days it will not idle.
Even when it does idle it dies after a few minutes.
It runs good on the highway.
Does some have a list of things i would need to check, preferably ordered from most likely to least likely.

Check the idle air control valve (iac)
Check the fuel pressure
Make sure the electronic egr valve is closing
