More than likely the intake manifold is flooded with unburned seafoam. get the engine started and try to keep it running until the seafoam clears from the intake.

also make sure there is not a vacuum hose knocked loose

Disconnect the battery and clean the throttle body around the butterfly and idle air control ,clean the IAT sensor with rubbing alcohol. Run it about 20 minutes and see how it idles. Did you change the oil. If you got the seafoam on the IAT intake air temp sensor you may need a new one never clean it with a solvent just elect cleaner or rubbing alcohol. You need to reset the computer when cleaning/changing a sensor by disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes.

The 1/3 in the intake(brake booster line) is what is causing the stalling.
I would remove the spark plugs and turn the engine over a few times, then clean spark plugs and re-install.

With EFI fuel systems we don't have the carbon build up problems we used to with carburetor systems.
Seafoam in the tank will clean up most injector nozzles and any carbon in the cylinders.

You still get some from the EGR and PCV systems.

Fire it up and run it at 1/2 to 3/4 throttle for a while, or try to take it for a drive, minimum 10 miles. You gotta get it good and hot and up to temp. It's flooding out. Get the crap burned out of the system and it should start to run normally again.

You should also always change the oil after using seafoam. Most guys wait until it is oil change time to use it.

well is sputtering now when im in park and when im accelerating.i dont think its misfiring. i changed some of the oil out but only had to bottles of new oil, i check the spark plugs and on had alot of oil on the out side of it.

i took it to goodyear and when i took off one of the coil on plugs, i guess i broke one and it was misfiring.

finally got a guy to fix my truck. he said the starter was bad so bought a new one and my wiring was bad so put my engine on 0" top dead center and wired the distributor, set the timing and now it starts up strong but now when i turn the key on run it rev's and when i turn the key to the on position it dies? so what do u think?
