86 f150 problems

I have a 1986 f150 i bought a few months ago, it will run and drive for about 2 mins then it will start bogging, and have no throttle response, ill hit the gas and about 5 seconds later ill get a response, it seems almost its shutting off and turning back on while im driving. Ive replaced both fuel pumps, the ecm, the inertia switch, tried advancing the timing, and the fuel filters. Any advice is appreciated thanks

I am guessing this is a fuel injected 302? If so, I haven't seen where you pulled any codes from the computer.

This is not looking good from the start. Ford never installed a throttle body injected engine in a truck that I know of.

Its either fuel injected, or carbed. I'm sure they didn't use a throttle body on their trucks.

plugged, or partially plugged injector? I don't know too much about EFI. I'm a carb man myself.
