Having an idol issue wondering if anyone can give me a helping answer

Went to pull over on the side of the road as doing so engine died, went to start her up again and she didn’t start unless on the gas, sounds rough and kinda like a throttle body issue, tried multiple things but continuing the same problem.

Issues having trouble starting, at first thought it was the fuel pump as it sounded starved and had 20 psi fuel pressure but instantly dropped, once on the gas it would start but not idol once off gas, replaced the fuel pump and we got pressure now however still not starting unless on the gas. Checked the code and got air to charge sensor and fuel indicator 2 circuit/open. Not running at all once off gas, bogs out and dies

Truck: 2004 dodge 2500 ram slt 5.7 Hemi
