My truck will start fine when it is cold, but wont restart unless I put the accelerator pedal to the floor. the oil light and temp light both come on and the temp gage doesnt move up after the truck is warmed up,. It also will not idle below 1000rpms and doesnt come back down right away after the pedal is pressed.

Clean the idle air control valve and MAF sensor and see what happens
