I would guess IAC as well. You said its new are the wires fine? Any check engine lights?

In the first post you said it "sputters" at about 500rpm, so it sounds like it's running for a moment, not just shutting off. If I'm interpreting that correctly then it sounds like a tuning/sensor issue, not a locked TCC issue. If it was the latter the engine would just immediately stall. Was the car being driven consistently before this happened, or has it been sitting?
Can you keep it running if you give it throttle? Have you driven it at speed since this issue started? Doing so will allow the ECM to recalibrate the IAC position. Do you have a broken connector at the IAC? If it's broken then it can be plugged incorrectly. I also agree with cleaning out the IAC passages. If it's not been done then they're probably pretty grimy.
The ECM detects 2 statuses from the Neutral Safety Switch - in gear and out of gear. When you shift the lever into a drive position, the ECM will anticipate by opening the IAC (and maybe make early fuel adjustments, not sure). You can notice how the idle changes in that moment when you move the shift lever but the transmission hasn't actually engaged yet. If you don't notice the ECM reacting during that moment between moving the lever and actual engagement, then I suspect it's not getting the "in gear" signal.
The signals at the NSS must be documented somewhere. If you can find that info, then you could check that with a multimeter and try to determine whether it's reliably signaling the correct status. The easiest and best way to check this (and many sensor issues) is with a laptop running WinALDL or a "scanner", but if you don't have that, then it should still be possible to look into it with your meter.

I took advice from ogre and let it idle for over 20 minutes, outta nowhere it stalls out but gave code 22, I replaced the tps, issue continues. I tried to drive and it barely got out of the driveway, giving it too much gas stalls it too. Could this be a pick up coil failing?? No codes when I tried to drive it.Gonna test spark plug wires too

The signaling from the NSS needs to be checked. Check if it's working with either a scanner, or by probing with your multimeter (exactly how depends on the pinout, I'm assuming that info is out there), or at least observe if the idle changes when you move the shifter to a drive position. If the idle changes then the ECM is apparently getting the signal.
http://www.fieros.de/en/v6help/code22.html says Code 22 is set when TPS signal voltage is < 0.2V for 2 seconds. It also shows the pinout of the TPS connector.
Check your +5V line at the TPS connector. This also goes to your MAP sensor connector - might as well check it both places. If it's not a consistent 5.0V then it's going to cause problems.
You should also be able to check the signal voltage by backprobing into the connector while it's plugged in. Try wiggling wires while checking these things. Look for anywhere that either the +5V or signal wire could be shorting to ground. Have there been any previous wiring repairs? Check that the wires aren't touching.

Sorry for the delay, but here’s an update. After replacing the NSS switch, issue persisted. Turns out the pick up coil and old gas were the culprits...Running great now. Thanks for your help everybody! The coil wires were exposed and corroded really bad. Glad it wasn’t the trans!!
