Default Won't stay running

I'm in the middle of relocating jobs so I left my truck at home while I was working at my new job. It sat for about two weeks, when I got back home I tried to start it and it needed a jump. It started as long as I gave it gas and would die as soon as I let off the gas. It was running great as long as I would give it gas. Any ideas? And it's a 99 auto with am the 318 2wd.

+1 on cleaning Throttle Body. This means the IAC and IAC port. Disconnect battery ground before starting this, then reconnect after everything is put back together. Take note of vacuum lines.
