Default Won't stay running

First it started out with my battery being completely dead but after I jumped it and started it and drove her home she's not staying running. I need to keep my foot on the gas to keep her running other wise she dies. I'm not sure where to start other than the distributor cap and rotor. I'm curious if any one has ran into this problem as well?

The battery is good and once she gets running the gauge shows that the altinator takes over and continues to charge the jeep.

I got her so she'll stay running, I think it was a sticky throttle body and now that it's warm so I'm letting it cool down and trying again. I think while I was in Vegas it got a little dried out and needed to be lubed up so I did so...
