my car died on me..help!!! 900

hey guys,,



I need help...my car suddenly died on me on the road today....I got it to re-start with no problem and then after about 5 miles...it died again. I went and parked on the side of the street and checked the engine...nothing visible..started it and it started idling rough...then died...I gingerly drove it home and the car made it...but it still sounded like the car was going to stall when it's in nuetral..the RPM was going up and down...so i took off the IAC motor..sprayed throttle body cleaner and i'm ready to test drive the car...anything else i need to check..could it be the fuel pump going bad? thanks.
yeah, i test drove the car after cleaning the IAC motor and I didn't even make it but about 3 miles away from my house and the car quit on me..tried to re-start but wouldn't at all..so I waited for 5 min..then restart and it fired right up..took it back to my house...check the idle and the idle was fine..so i place the car on drive and ..bam..there goes the idle...up and down..then the car died..so is this a classic fuel pump or relay failure...hoping it's only the relay and not the pump...
