Default Car dies

Hey guys I have a 97 TA with a Procharged 355. Everytime I start my carit idles really low and while driving when i'm coming to a stop the rpm's will start bouncing around and then die if I don't rev it up. I tried resetting the IAC valve by unplugging the connector and the car starts up and drives fine for about 10 minutes then goes back to before like it is in a default mode or something.
Does this mean I have to get a new IAC valve or could it be something else?

Anything going on with your voltage gauge? I also had a car do this (Not an LS motor though) It would just die out sometimes moving at slow speeds like pulling into a parking spot, at stop lights, it turned out to be a hole in one of my breather hoses it was very small and discrete.

My car was doing the same thing, but it's not blown......yet. Fixed it by replacing the coil and ICM.
