Tundra idles low and shuts off.

Hello from a newbie. Got a 2000 Tundra, 4.7 V8. Yesterday I tried to start my truck but the battery seemed drained. Notice the Cap was loose on top so I added some distilled water and recapped. Was hard to jump start, but got it going. Idles so low now that I can only keep it going except by pumping the accelerator. Will continue to run as long as I press the gas, but quickly dies if I dont. Is this a result from a bad battery alone or is there possibly something else going on?

I just went through the same thing 3 weeks ago, turned out to be my battery not holding enough charge but don't rule out the alternator not charging the battery enough. i got them both tested just to be sure

I believe you guys have a throttle cable, there should be a screw somewhere that tightens that and raises the rpm's slightly so that it doesn't stall out, i don't know exactly but check your throttle pulley in your engine bay, and look for a screw that makes tension as it's tighten. It happened on my Lexus before:-)
