Fuel pump relay or possibly the fuel pump itself.

Did you do the correct procedure when installing the IAC motor, it should be in the tech section. Aslo have you checked the fuel pressure? and finally I've had very similar problems with my 91 formula 350 and when it would start happening I would remove the throttle body and clean it throughly inside and the problem would seem to get better. Hope this helps
