Throttle issues
So long story short my 1999 dodge ram 1500 had the driver side hub assembly lock up. Sent it to the car lot to get fixed last week. Get it back and find out they killed my battery claiming they had to keep the hood up. Well they recharged it and now whenever I'm driving or if its idling and I touch the gas pedal and remove my foot itll die any suggestions

May just need to re-learn idle. That *shouldn't* take long..... Might want to clean the throttle body in any event, paying special attention to the IAC well. It tends to get pretty gunked up.
Could try resetting the PCM, (just disconnect the battery, turn on the headlights, turn them back off, hook the battery back up.) then, turn the key to On, (don't touch anything else) count to ten, then start the motor. See if it figures it out.
