dying between gears and alarm issue

Well... got my car repaired (kinda) and now I need to address an issue i've had since the engine rebuild...
the car seems to have normal idle when it starts up, however sometimes it drops really low and dies down, often dies down between gears, it's almost like it can't control the idle speed when its revved up and starts coming down... what's going on?! It dies really often if the AC is on, and if the AC is on and you start it, it'll die out like 60% of the time.
is this a quick issue to fix? what areas do I need to be looking at?

Also, my clifford alarm (not sure what clifford it is specifically) that has code entry (i.e. car dies if you steal it and run away in like 30 seconds) etc... has suddenly stopped working, and is kind of in a loop mode. sometimes you need the code sometimes you don't.. should I try to diagnose this myself or just take it somewhere and forfeit the cash?

Vacuum leak or TPS needs to be adjusted.

And what would this car be?

On FCs, the TPS will be on the front side of the throttlebody. On FDs, I believe it's in the same location. Refer to the FSM. Links are in the FAQs, or you can use this site: http://www.rotaryheads.com/PDF/2nd_gen/index.html
