idle issues and running isues

so i have this f 150 with a 400 v8 and i have been having some issues with it. lately everytime i drive it it will be cruising along just fine runnin what seems to be ok then all the sudden i go to accelerate and it kinda hesitates a little then clunks and continues to do so everytime i get on or let off the gas.. and when i pull up to stop the idle drops way low like not wanting to run so i put it in neutral and the idle went to normal.

i was checking for vacuum leak so i sprayed the carb gasket and had the idle go up a little so i replaced the carb gaskets and eliminated a vacuum line leading to the cruise control that is no longer hooked up. ran great for a day or two then went back to doing the same thing only worse. now it wont idle in park or neutral either. pleease some body help me im stumped

If you check for a vacuum leak in the same spot, has it reappeared?
