crappy start to the new year
I went to go start my truck today and it was completely dead so I went to jump it and it won't start unless my foot is in the gas and as soon as I let go of the gas it shuts off, any idea what it could be? its a 97 1500 5.9

Just keep your foot on it for a while, let the engine warm some. With the battery stone dead, the PCM will have to re-learn the idle.
If it STILL doesn't wanna idle, clean the throttle body, paying special attention to the IAC well.

Yupp....When my battery dies I jump start the truck and do some fancy foot work to get it in drive.. Just gotta remember to keep your foot into the gas..
