Unhappy 92 3.1L Cranks great, but won't start

I have a 1992 Chevy Lumina with the 3.1L engine.
I have had some problems with keeping it running at low RPMs for a while now. Some days it runs like a dream. Others it will stall when I come to a stop. In the past I have remedied the situation by keeping on the gas at stops and riding the brake at lower speeds while gassing it.

Well, I'm at work right now, and the darn thing won't start. It cranks perfectly. (New starter) Not even a sputter. It ran beautifully on the way to work this morning. How can I diagnose the problem? Given its behavior over the last few months, does this sound like a sensor issue, something with a sticky valve, or a fuel pump problem? The only other time this happened, about 4 days ago, the car started after 3 tries. No such luck today. Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.
