Does the car idle after it's warmed up? More info needed.

Functionally check the rad water temp switch (lower left corner, if applicable). Should be closed above about 60*F...

Good-sized vac leak will also render the 3K system invalid...

BAC system still operational on the car? If so, check it per the FSM or Haynes...

Do that (either do a search or use the FSM) for the TPS, and check for vac leaks, among the other items mentioned by everybody...
