Help! Engine F*** Up
I have a problem with my 1999. It wont start when its cold. What I mean is that it will start then the RPMs drop to zero and it cuts off if I dont keep giving it gas. I have to sit there giving it gas until the engine is at running tempature, it will not cut off but it will idle ruff and the rpms rise and lower. The ambient temperature is around 90 degrees outside.

If you mean by "short" that the coolant was getting on the belt and causing it to slip all over the place and causing the GEN light to come on, then yes. If you mean that you were saturating the alternator in coolant, then that might not be charging as well as it should be and causing your battery to not get charged back up all the way- Making the TPS go nuts.
Still, clean both the TPS and the IAC.
Oh, don't curse on the forum. It's really not needed, man.

Check to see that your coolant temp sensor is plugged in/working correctly. The sensor is located on the front right portion of the manifold, close to the thermostat.
I had my coolant temp sensor come unplugged on my Dakota (v6 magnum) and it could only be started by holding the gas down. When it did start the idle would be very irratic.
