any advice please..

hello,
i drive a '98 sr5 4runner, and today it started acting up, first i parked it to grab a coffee and the starter stuck and it wouldnt start, so with some help i push started it and got going, i brought it to a hill, and while it was running i turned it over in hopes to turn the starter over and unstuck it, that worked, and i started and stopped the truck 3 times before going on my way, as i started moving out on to the street , the truck started to sputter and as i put in the clutch the rpms would drop to below 500 and the truck started to chugg like a choo choo train, almost to the point of stalling, once i got it home and turned it off, it wont start again the starter just clicks, so im not worried about why the starter is screwy, this i understand, however why i had a rpm issue is really confusing me, i have no catalytic converter, i have put a straight pipe, however as my rpm issues started the check engine light went off..
thank you very much for reading
