1: wouldn't idle. when I got near home, if I let off of the go pedal, it would go dead.

2: ran great in the upper rpm range (3000 plus) but weak in the lower.

3: No check engine light.

It felt like it bucked and choked and wouldn't go.

I'm going to check the plugs, change the fuel filter, and go through the diagnostic procedures according the the Factory Service Manual.

I'm thinking throttle position sensor, fuel pump, or ecu. PLEASE, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe the Idle Air Control Value needs cleaning. have a look on the forum on how to clean it if you don't know how.
