Take the throttle body apart and clean around the throttle plate and in and around the IAC valve. Then try it.

Which engine do you have? If it is a 302 there is good chance that your intake gasket that goes between the upper and lower pieces of the intake is blown out. I had the same problem on several different trucks with the 302, seems they have somewhat of problem with this. It is not very hard to change, but is a little time consuming. If this turns out to be the problem,and you replace it , make sure you use a good aftermarket gasket like Felpro as these seem to hold up better.
