Okay guys, I really need your help. I have checked my truck and changed the sensors that came up as faulty with the obd scanner. I have changed the Mass air flow sensor and the secondary air intake valve, I still have the same problems. The truck stalls while braking specially when cold and it also does not turn on at times and I have checked other forums and I have been told that the reason the truck wont start is because of the pass lock sensor in the ignition. How can I fix these problems I learned that the stalling might be the IAC needs cleaning but I have not found out how to clean it. Any suggestions?

Okay, question. Does it stall while braking or does it not start? An idle issue could be the result of an IAC or even a vacuum leak, but you should be able to get it started. Let me know what is going on for you.

I have both problems but they are not related I believe. At any time during the day mainly in the mornings the anti theft light blinks and the truck will not start and I have to wait 10 minutes. The stalling happens while braking or while going down hills and braking. If I don't look at the RPM's and accelerate when they get too low I stall.

Yes, there are two different problems. The anti theft needs addressed by a dealer that has the proper test equipment to check codes. The stalling is most likely the IAC or a vacuum leak.
