Your truck is fuel injected. You need to pull the codes. You can buy a cheap $20 code reader to do it(you have a pre-96 EECIV) or go to Ford Fuel Injection and they will show you how to pull the codes with a meter or testlight. Sorry, you can't just change parts on the later fuel injected vehicles. With a little time and research, you can get it, don't let the computer stuff intimidate you.

When you replaced the PIP sensor that was on the stator assembly inside the distributor (a 1994 does not have a pick-up-coil, that ended in the mid 80's with DuraSpark-II) you had to take out the distributor.
When you put the distributor back in did you remove the SPOUT shorting bar when you timed it with a timing light.

If you did not remove the SPOUT shorting bar (jumper) or use a timing light then that is your problems.
When doing so set it to 10 degrees BTDC and then put the SPOUT back in.
