I have an 02 Dodge Ram, it starts but will not stay running after I let off the pedal. I recently ran the battery dead and had to jump start it, after jumping it is when this problem started.

Have you replaced the battery and tested the charging system? The computer needs 9-10 volts to operate normally, and if the battery/alternator arent up to supplying the power, this can happen. When you jump started it, you didn't reverse the cables by mistake did you?
