Car dies in gear - IAC the culprit?

So my 1G NT has a semi-pulsating rough idle, then dies when I put it into gear if I don't give it gas right away. Vacuum lines all look ok, but I plan to do a leak test.

However, my guess is it's the IAC....sound right? The car has been sitting for some time, I'd like to get it back running smooth so I can enjoy it. How common is it for the IAC to get dirty and clogged, and is it easy to clean out?

Any other potential culprits for this behavior?
 
Thank you for the link, I'll give this a shot this week.

Battery is fine, voltage reading normal. I'll follow-up once I test the IAC.
