Default engine starts up fine then dies out

hey guys i need a second opinion on what wrong with my truck. it starts up just fine but after about 10 seconds its starts choking and eventually just dies out. when i turn it on the revolutions are at about 1250 but the drop down rapidly and hit 100 and eventually the car stalls and dies. if you have any idea please help me out.

edit: when i turn the car on it idles at about 1200 rpm then drops to 100 rpm then before stalling it gets a weird power boost then shoots back up to 1200 then it dies down to 100 rpm and stalls out. any ideas?

Will is run after the first stalling if you restart it?
Or does it stall every time?
How about if you hold your foot on the gas pedal, will it stay running?

Hey guys I think I've managed to fix my stalling issues. The fix was to reset my throttle and cruise control cables then I cleaned my maf sensor. So next step is getting rid of my new codes. These just came up p1300 p303 p0305 p0300 p0303 p0305. Any suggestions on where to start? I'm about to go fill my truck with gas and add a engine cleaner, any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
