definitely throttle cable but the IAC should keep it running at idle your iac is malfunctioning as well it has to be.

if that cable is the sorce of the problem it could be a thorrtle line, MAF sensor would cause to to run crappy to but shouldnt be there, bad fuel filter or fuel pump if its not that cord, turn the key a little and see if you hear the fuel pump run if not hit your gas tank a little and it could work again, could be a realyl beat fuel filter

Crank Scraper?

hmm, if it is a stick did you try keeping it in nuetral before you let go of the clutch after starting it? i know that the throttle cable would result in loss of no gain in rpm's but maybe you had it in first or third and didn't realize it and just didn't pay attention to the clutch and that is what is causing it to die, i know it sounds silly, but it sometimes happens

I agree with steamboat 16, the simple stuff is the usually the problem
