I have a 93 5.0 with AOD.Now, here's my problem. When I start it up, of idles high. Put it in gear and it sounds like I have an all out racing cam. Very lopey. Its bone stock. I've replaced fuel filter and fuel pressure regulator. No fix. I've checked fuel injectors. Clean. I've changed MAP sensor. Still no change. Compression is good and no leaks around heads. Also, no problems with distributor, coil or wires. And brand new plugs. What the hell do I do next? Please help me. The truck is an heirloom. My autozone doesn't have OBD1 code reader and quite frankly, I'm running low on funds.__
