When my truck did as you're suggesting yours is, it was a bad fuel pump. Hooked up a fuel pressure gauge to the fitting under the hood, and it was only showing a bit under 30 pounds. Should be 56 to 72 psi, at least for my 98, that's the desired range.
Zip ties? The throttle cable can become stretched over time. Take the cable off the lever on the throttle body. You'll see a track the cable runs in. Take two small zip ties, connect them together, and lay them in the track, connect them together on the back side of the lever. Reinstall cable over top of the zip ties. Now your throttle cable will be tighter.
