Rough idle/ stalling in drive/reverse

Hello, new member here 👋🏼
I have a 95 f-150 v8 5.0, I’ve replaced the IACV, TPS, MAF, ERG valve and EGR position sensor, PCV, and plenum gasket.
It starts just fine, comes up to operating temp, idle fine in park and neutral, but idles very rough in drive and reverse, and tries to stall out. Any tips or advice?

Hey there been a while but I encountered the same problem a while ago, transmission valve body and torque converter were the problem. As soon as a load was applied the transmission fell on its face and took the converter with it.
