broke white boy
you had the pressure checked? the sympyoms you are having sound like a fuel pressure regulator acting up.
go to your auto parts store and buy a pressure gauge, they are like 30 bucks,

I have an 87 f150 2wd and have a similar problem, if I give too much gas especially in 3rd-5th the engine seems to do the same thing, much less severe if engine is cold. I have a new tank, pump, sending unit, fuel filter and have used many cans of seafoam incase it was dirty injectors and no difference.
Hopefully my post narrows some thing's down maybe and I subscribed to this thread and will post anything I find that's relevant.

no its not the iac because that was replaced also and if it was i would be cutting off in while idle(which it does) but it only happends when hott it can run for 2 hours and wont had a problem.(lol ive messed with this thing alot)i think its something to do with the fuel....and the fuel filter was replaced with a new one a month ago. if it helps any if u step on the gas it will accerate but slowly...u cant put ur foot all way down...it simply will just make a chokeing noise but doesnt cutt off ....does it while driveing which sucks.....going to try to put a video up idk if i can.....

My suggestion is engine electrical. Electrical components are at their greatest stress and tend to show problems when warm/ hot. They sometimes tend not to show a problem until engine is hot. I would check ignition coil, plugs, wires, pickup coil, and ignition module. I know that seems like a lot, but just go through the electrical system. When was last tune-up? Pickup coils can cause strange stuff and I bet yours was never changed. I would still have been inclined to say fuel/air problem, but you said it all checked out. it couldn't hurt to check with a can of carb cleaner for air leaks. Also, check timing.
