Is it making noise-if so you might consider checking the bushings 1st bounce the car up and down while you feel the bushing-you can tell if its coming from there. Just the feeling to it. Then comeback

Started fine this morning, wife drove to an appointment, came out, truck cranks but immediately dies. When I tried it, I could get it to run by giving it light gas continually, but as soon as I release the gas, the engine dies. No service lights are lit.

Try cleaning your MAP sensor. I had a big issue with my RX300 and thinking it was the O2 sensor, I replaced it at $300.00. But the problem contiued. I then bought some electronic cleaner and used it and it ran great. Just two screw hold it on and the cleaner cost $4.00. Do not use any other cleaner but electronic cleaner.

Start hard and stall. Have to hold pedal down to start and it stalls unless I give it gas. It does not idle. When driving it drives fine but when slowing down to stop or turn it stalls unless I keep the RPM up above or around 1000. I have recently replaced the plugs, wires, and air filter. I can't find the location of the PVC and will replace that once I find it. Have also added injector cleaner to the fuel line. All this was done within last few days with no change in problem.?

Inspect and test the idle air control solenoid and throttle position sensor.

It has a PCV valve maybe on the valve cover and also the EGR valve remove it and look for carbon.
