Exclamation Idol Issue?

Hey guys,
So I just went out to my car and let it warm up for like 5-10 minutes until it was 1/4 of the way warm, my driveway is probably about a quarter mile long of gravel or so. After I let it warm up for a minute I started to head to the gym, before I even get half way down my driveway the idle on the car randomly started getting rough and it was acting like it was bogging down so I gave it a little gas to see if it would fluctuate. Well I probably went about 2-3 more feet and it died, I started it up and was trying to see if it would sit and idle and it just kept dying. I had to start it and give it gas, put my foot on the break and put it in reverse and keep on the gas all the way back to my house just so it wouldn't die. When I started it, it started right up without a problem, didn't have any idle problems or anything. But every once in a while when it's cold or hasn't been ran all day (sometimes) it will need a little gas to start running but after that it idles fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated seeing as this is my daily driver to and from work.

Thanks again for all your help, Michael.

Sounds like a pretty good sized vacuum leak, and/or bad or dying IACV.
