99 dakota 5.2 v8

My truck battery died a while ago, and I just never needed it so I let it sit and it was cold outside. Well, I got the battery jumped and charged so the truck starts, but only with my foot on the gas. as soon as I take my foot off the gas, the truck dies.

I'm thinking IAC? or could this be a fuel pump issue? What do you all think?

Most likely related to the battery. PCM Memory losss of the idle is one of the first things we see with a low voltage problem. Keep the truck running with the pedal while it relearns the idle memory. You might have to replace the battery. I know it sounds odd; but often a battery that is too low for the PCM will still crank the motor.

Lead, follow, or get out of the way
