Default Won’t stay running

First time truck owner so I’ll admit I don’t really know to much about them.
I went to start my 98 Ram 2500 quad cab this morning and it will not stay running unless I give it gas. It’s been very cold lately, is this happening just because of the weather or would it be more like the battery or something else? I just don’t know where to start lol I’d appreciate any help. Thank you for taking the time to read.

Last time it had a tune up? Plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and throttle body cleaned.
