explorer stalling. won't start

I have a 98 Explorer, 4wd, 4.0L V6. I was changing the oil and the air filter. when I tried to start the car, it wouldn't start. If I give it gas while i'm starting, the car will start, but once i stop giving it gas, the engine shuts off. I get no "check engine" light while the car is running, only after the engine shuts off. I have tried changing the Throttle positiong sensor to no avail. Any ideas on what the problem might be?
Thank you
