Help! My 2.8L won't idle but runs fine... I'm baffled, again!

These things certainly ain't grandma's buick.

My 1994 90S decided that it no longer wishes to idle. Went out to start it yesterday and it started...then died. And again and again.

The car will run fine (smooth, no misses) if I give it a bit of throttle. It even drives just as it had before the stalling incident EXCEPT when the engine has essentially no load on it (turning corners, stop and go traffic). That's when it just stalls out again. All of this is with the A/C, lights, or any other confounding system turned off. Has anyone heard of this problem? Where do I start checking?
