Has a full tank of fuel. replaced broken vacume line. and the truck starts idle errattically i hear it sucking air "not a vacume leak" its from the TB at idle control valve. then it straves it self and dies. throttle does nothing except when erracticaly pumped RPMS can get to 1800 and dies. Help Please....

 Have you run the codes? turn the switch on and off 3 times, not to start but so all the lights come on then on the 3rd time leave the key on, it should give codes either in the odometer or the check engine light will flaSH, but I think only the throttle bodies use the check eng. light to flash out the codes. It sounds as though the IAC (idle air control valve is dirty, or the problem. If you take it out to clean just use spray cleaner and don't touch the valve its self, when clean spray into the hole where the valve goes as well.
 Good Luck

 It's a vacuum leak.  Probably the intake manifold.  Check the vacuum reading if you can keep it running.

 If the IAC is steping back and drawing more air
 and starving
 
 pull a plug when it does that and see if its dry
 
 sounds like a fuel regulator problem
 
 some of the 92's the early ones had a external
 vac operated regulator and saying it had an inline
 fuel filter it may be one with this setup
 
 What it does is when under excelleration the vac
 droping raises the fuel pressure 5 to 10 psi
 
 The newer setup actualy switches the volts on the
 fuel pump under hard excelleration and raises the
 pressure slightly usualy at wot WIDE OPEN THROTTLE
 
 follow the gas line to see if you have the
 external regulator these systems also had a return
 fuel line was used on the vary early 92's
