With no codes, it makes it a little tougher to diagnose, but not impossible.
Some things that come to mind:
Vacuum leak, EGR stuck open (though this should set a code), bad ignition parts (plugs, wires, ignition module).
Was the truck running like this before you had the shop work on it? In other words, was it running like crap, then died, then you took it in to the shop?

Well then, add one more idea to the list: The IAC, or idle air control. Some refer to it as an IAB also.
At this point, I'd suggest to check for codes again, just in case there are some. Here's a link to how you can check them: Ford Fuel Injection » How To Run a Self-Test
And here is a link to the code meanings. I'm pretty sure your 92 should have 3-digit codes: Ford Fuel Injection » 3 Digit Self-test Codes 111-171
