Wont idle at all, dies

Ok, I started up my car thismorning, ran fine while it sat as i moved my moms car, was idling at 1500 due to aws. So i drive off and 3 blocks down i notice my engine die while i was stopped, and after it started i left. I drove 20 miles and it did the same thing, and now, the car barely runs under 2500 rpm while not under load, if under load i can stay a little over 2k and be fine. It accelerates as usual to 7k rpm. I noticed in the faq all i found about idle is "my idle sucks" or "my idle is erratic" nothing about the car dying. So where should i start? I wanted to check the resistance of the tps but i can find any listing of what it should be.
