Default 1994 302 Bucking Under Load?

Hello, long time reader decided to join up.

I just picked up a 1994 XLT F-150 302, 225,000 miles RCLB 4x4 E4OD to use as a beater truck.

This post below was my original post from FSB copied and pasted

" bought the truck off of CL with the thought the transmission needing to be replaced because the truck didn't want to move at one point (So the PO thought it was the transmission) and been sitting for a week.

(before that he said the truck was driving fine until it broke down on side of the road, he was the original owner.)

I picked it up, turns out the transmission is fine goes through the gears just fine and the truck has a "no power" problem.

Truck has fresh fuel in the tank (Front tank) changed oil, and started her up it didn't want to idle at first, hit the pedal a few times and it idled steady.

(Turn it off and I have to blimp the go pedal a few times before it will idle smooth at normal RPM)

the truck had a slight miss at idle and when revved up, If the throttle is pushed to the floor (in park) it will be hesitate to rev up it eventually will rev up, but it sounds very under powered like a few cylinders were not firing.

The truck sounded like its about to die out if put in to gear,until the throttle is blimped like in park then it will idle steady.

Changed the spark plugs with autolite coppers and MC wires with MSD rotor and cap truck idles a ton smother and no more miss at idle or when revving up but the truck will still try to die out at idle idling very low until I blimp the throttle a few times (same as before and is still hesitant to rev up.)

I noticed if I played around with the throttle under the hood, at one point the truck with idle smooth at normal RPM, but if the throttle is blimped again the truck will idle really low at the verge of dying out and if blimped again the truck will return to normal idle. (Checked for vacuum leaks, no leaks that I can see.)"

This post below is a update from today copied from FSB.

"Update

Talked to PO today and he said he changed out the fuel pump and fuel filter a few months ago.

Changed TPS and cleaned the IAC for the heck of it.

(Checked the ICM and it is the black module.)

Truck now idles like new, and will free rev (with no misfires) and it will move under its own power.

Drove it down the road but, didn't get to far as it was "bucking" under load and won't get pass 35 MPH.

Any other suggestions?

Checked for codes and got 111 and 123. (guessing the 123 code was there from the old tps.)

Thanks"

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

I also checked the FPR and no gas smell out of the vacuum line.
