1996 F250 NEEDS HELP

my 1996 ford f250 won't start, sounds like its misfiring. replaced the fuel pump, the distributor, throttle positioning sensor, map sensor, ecm, spark plugs and wires, egr valve, idle positioning sensor, ignition switch, duel tank switch but still won't start. When it was running it was acting strange it was hesitating or jerking when I would accelerate faster and then would have my gas pedal all the way down but wouldn't have any power. I have tried everything I could possibly think of and don't know what else to do. So any thoughts and ideas will be very much appreciated

Could the injectors be clogged?

Thread moved to the forum for this truck.

Can you do a vacuum test?

How many miles?

Timing chain ever replaced?

What engine?

Codes are your friend
Especially on that 96
Check the fuel pressure with a gauge
Perform an injector noid light test
