88 f-150

woohoo a new junker project!....on this installment i have an 88 xlt lariet 302 auto 4x4 and it runs like crap.....drinks fuel like its going out of style, and when you step on the gas it gets a repating hesitation and will even lightly backfire from time to time.....no engine light or anything and it all seems to have started when i froze my gas line....any ideas?

What froze, water in the gas? How cold does it get where you are? If the line froze could you have damaged some injectors? Did you look at the plugs? How are the wires etc?
