need help ASAP!!

Okay I have a 03 3.4 supercharged tacoma. I have the urd kit and have had it on for a few months now with only a random light here and there.(they read o2) things got a little off yesterday. I has coming to a stop and pushed in the clutch and started to shift from second to first when the truck just died!!(no stutering,no signs of it going to happen). I was blasting my music and thought maybe i let the clutch out and killed it.(but it didn't have any jerking at all and i am sure that i didn't kill it) so i just blew it off as a freak accident that happened. then later that day i was about to make a right hand turn and had the clutch in again and went to do the turn and i had no power sterring!!! come to find out the truck had died again. then i drove around for a few hours with no problem. Later that night i went out to start my truck and as soon as the rpms reached the idle level they started to drop in a smooth motion and died. If i remember my idle was just above 1000 rpm's when it was running good now it will switch from 650-800-1000 on and off and it feels like my truck is going to die when it reaches the 650. the truck runs fine when i give it gas and am driving i have no problems!! any thoughts?? fuel pump,ftc,o2, TB??? i have no idea any info will help red

LOL i have been trying to do that!!!! but no reply yet

UPDATE PART 1!!

Okay i was told that it might be the TB gasket in backwards. But i installed my urd kit months ago and have not had this problem untill now. But i checked it anyways and all is in order on that one. So i let it just run at idle in N in the driveway and for most of the time it did run at about 1000RPMS which seems to be a good spot. But every so often it would dip down below that and you could hear the truck give it more fuel to try to bring it back up or it could be that what ever makes it go down only lasts a few seconds. Now doesn't my FTC control all of my fuel and not the truck? I am lost on this one and need help! red

UPDATE PART 2

so i thought maybe some ˟˟˟˟ in the fuel filter and found out that they are only like 20$ so i went and bought one and just changed it. As of now at idel it is at 750-800 and stays there. Could this have been the problem? only time will tell i am taking it out tonight and will update everyone in the mourning and see if any of you have any more ideas. red

UPDATE PART 3

okay i did the fuel fliter and added some isop. alc. just in case water was the cuase and everything is running fine as of the last 12 hours. I have found that it idels at 1000 when first started and as it warms up and raises in temp the idle drops down to around 700 give or take. Is this what it is supposed to do? RED

1000 RPM when cold down to 700RPM when warm sounds ideal to me in general. The exact specs. may slightly differ, but I believe only around 50 to 100 RPM difference. Does anyone else have the RPM specs? I need to make breakfast for the kids, so no time to look it up right now.

Is it still under warranty? Or did the urd kit (what ever that is) void the warranty?

it did not void the warranty if it is something that is wrong that did not effect the part or parts in question. The problem is i would rather try to find out what the problem is before i take it in or else they will not know what is wrong or make it worse. red
