engine won't idle
During the past week, I have been attempting to start my engine, while warm, and the engine will not remain at idle and dies. After throttling it a little bit and restarting the idle seems to catch and I can put it in gear. Now, after about 45 mins of rest with the engine off, the idle will not kick-in but if I touch the accelerator pedal it stays running. Any ideas? fuel pump relay?

Not too familiar with trucks that new, but I assume it has an IAC (idle air control). That's what I'd check first. Might just need cleaning, might need replacing. And pull the codes. What about tuneup items like plugs, wires, cap & rotor, filters? EGR might be sticking a bit.
