Question?
I got a 1995 ford f-350 with a 351W, runs rough when in drive or reverse it spits and sputters then dies. I replaced the throttle position sensor, mass air flow sensor, and the engine coolant temperature sensor it also idles a little high, what could it be?

You have a '95 5.8L F350 with MAF? Is it obdi or obdii (possibly California emissions?)?
Start with the basics:
0. Check codes first.
1. Have you done basic maintenance? Plugs, cap, rotor, fuel and air filters, PCV valve, clean MAF.
2. What is the fuel pressure: with vacuum to the regulator, without vacuum to the regulator, and most importantly what is the pressure when it is stumbling?
3. What is engine vacuum at idle? The high idle may indicate a vacuum leak.
Why did you replace the parts you replaced already? Throwing parts at a truck without diagnosing is a good way to introduce more variables to the problem you're trying to solve.. new doesn't always mean good.

OK, can you post some pics of your engine bay and the wiring connector or connectors at the PCM. To get MAF into a '92 there would have to be an overlay harness which would mean 2 nested connectors at the PCM, does your truck have that?
Are there any codes right now?
Do you know the catch code for the PCM?

OK I don't see a piggyback connector there so maybe the additional wiring is hardwired in. Are you still getting codes for things that have been replaced? If so post up the code numbers.

KOEO Test: 126,556,637

I know 126 is MAP sensor but the wire harness doesn't have the electrical plug for it, it only has the plug for the MAF

So it appears you somehow got a MAF wiring harness and an SD PCM, can you remove the PCM and post up the catch code or some pics of it to verify, there should be a label on it with some numbers.
