93 Running rough.

93 f150,5.0 engine manual trans. Yesterday out of the blue it started running rough. Today I put in new plugs and no diff. It skips real bad at 40 mph in third under a mild load. Once the rpms are up around 2-3000 it' ok. Wires were changed three years ago. Any ideas. Engine has 214000 miles on it and has been good up to now. Old plugs were worn but fairly clean with no oil fouling on them. I don't know anything about o2 sensors pcms from PMS.

Check for codes. Then, finish your tune up with new fuel & air filters, new cap and rotor. Check coil terminal for corrosion, clean if suspect at all. While the hood is open, clean battery terminals. That's where I'd start.
