no idle

ok so i went to start the truck today and it wouldn't idle, i was running late and i had to drive with one foot on the break and the other constantly on the gas so the rpm wouldn't drop and stall out... has this ever happened to anyone? what is it? and how much is the part?

thanks

Yup it could be 101 diferent things, you need to get you a haynes manual and do alittle diagnostic work, it could be vac line, IAC valve, TPS, EGR valve, just name a few. Good luck! DW
