Because you are essentially doing the same thing the truck is suppose to do normally. You have a fuel pump which is located in your fuel tank (where you put gas in at the gas station) that delivers fuel to your throttle body. When you put gas in the throttle body then you are bypassing the fuel pump momentarily. Be careful though because this has been know to burn piston rings and blow engines.

Why would you have to pump the gas pedal during weather below 15 degrees in order for your truck to start - it is a 1994-throttle body injection?
I would check the fuel filter,fuel pump,or have your injectors cleaned, but pumping the gas is not helping on a throttle body all you are doing is giving it more gas which means you are going to flood it. You don't pump throttle body, you do the carburetor

How do you get a 1984 Toyota Camry to start after running out of gas does it have fuses to start it?
Basically just add gas to the tank, turn the key on but do not start it to let the electric fuel pump push fuel to the carb or injectors. After a few minutes then you could spray some throttle body cleaner into the throttle body to get the engine to start right away. Then go turn the key and it should fire. You can try it without the throttle body cleaner and the engine may start onec enough fuel gets to the cylinders.
