My Jeep did that, it was a combination of the automatic choke and fast idle sylinoid. The Jeep is carb though. Don't know if this is much help to you.

Pull the codes and get a Haynes manual or look here for the procedure to test the TPS & IAC with a multimeter. Also, check the whole ignition system.

My truck used to do this too. I would hardly touch the gas and it would die. The problem ended up being the automatic choke.

Huh? Your '93 doesn't have a choke.

I had this problem... in fact many of us have.

My suggestion?

Read EVERY post you can find (use the search engine) in the archives and in current threads about restricting (and/or blocking) the EGR on EFI Inline Sixes.

There are so many posts about it that you probably won't need to post any questions about it. Plus it is cheap, it has worked for just about every poster who tried it (that responded back) (save for one that I can remember), and it is easy to do.

Best,
