1994 Chevy S-10 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

I've recently run into some problems with my s10. It wants to idle way low until it dies. Before this happened it was idleing really high for a while, but suddenly started acting normal. Drove great for about a week, then suddenly it idled down while I was driving it. I can ride the gas to keep it running (how I got home), but can't seem to figure out the problem. i've parked it until the problem is fixed. I have replaced all the damaged vaccum hoses I could find, and the fuel filter is almost brand new. All of the plugs and wires are also new. Could it be th idle air sensor?
