What RPM does it hold when it doesn't stall?

Vacuum leak?

Dirty air filter?

Idle speed adjustment?

it doesnt hold at all i mean i set the rpms high so icould drive it to the mechanics shop. but i i was ridding hte gas to dto pat a light hit neutral n my foot on the gass if not it would just turn off.. i set it to liek 1500 rpm and when i turn it on it just shuts off earlier i was able to drive it around the block when i got to the stop sign near the end of the other block it would just shut off so i was tihmking it could have been a sensor me and my dad checked al lthe vaccum hoses n they were okay but i dont knwo it still kept turnin off hopefully tomamrrow the mechanic can fix the problems but i wanan know so if it is that sensor i can just buy it and have them install it
