What is going on

I have a 92 Ranger with the very strange 2.3L engine. The one with 2 plugs per cylinder. The trouble that I am having is that when I get on the interstate, the truck just stalls and dies. When I pull to the side of the road it cranks back up without a problem. Then when I am back at highway speed it just stalls and dies again. I took it to the local dealership and they wanted to replace the engine. Not having that kind of money, I took it to my uncles shop. As per their instruction, and that of the computer, I have changed the following problems with no results:

Fuel filter
Fuel pump--this one is REALLY fun to do by yourself in the driveway!
Fuel pressure regulator
Plugs
Plug wires
Rotor
Cap
Computer
Timing Chain
and probably some others that I have forgotten.

I wanted a new truck, but I did not want to build it a piece at a time. If anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreaciated.

Thank You

Have you pulled the KOEO and KOER codes?

Every code that was pulled pointed to the fuel delivery and the computer. That is what is so strange.

Are you getting proper fuel pressure at the fuel rail now? Are you still getting codes? If you are what ones? I know the pump is fun, did you pull the bed off, it's the easier way.
