Starting troubles
Got in my truck this afternoon to leave work and it was dragging really bad. Took a few seconds to start but when it did, it ran normal. Drove to a friends house to pick up a load of bricks and when I got in to leave, it was dragging again but this time it fired up then died. Tried it a few more times and got the same thing. I've got to hold my foot on the gas to keep it running. After it runs for a few minutes, I can kill it and start it right back up and it will almost stall but catch before it dies. No CEL's or anything which is the confusing bit. I'm going to replace the TPS and IAC tomorrow and see if that fixes the problem. Anyone got any ideas what the heck is going on?
Here's a vid of a re-start after a 15 minute drive

Got in it this morning to go to work and pick up parts and it started right up. Only problem I had was the first few stops, the rpm would drop to below 500 but pick right back up.
I'm still gonna swap the TPS and hope that fixes it

Swapped the TPS this morning and it fixed it. Guess I can't really complain too much seeing as the one I pulled out has been working since '97 lol. Seems to idle a little lower than normal but starts and runs just fine
