no power

Hello, I would like a nice explanation on why my tuck has no power, and stalls for no reasion. Now I am pretty skilled in mechanics but im only 18 and quite anoyed with this. I am getting horrorable mileage (8-10mpg), no power, stalls all the time, and large ammounts of fuel comeing out of the hole in my exaust right behind the catalitic converter (about a foot back and the size of a quarter). So you see I have good reasion to bleave not all of my cylinders are firing. I have a 1992 F-150 with the I6 300ci, no modifications yet. This is my project vehicle and got some crazy ideas for it (ex. c11 cat engine, and whole new drive traine to fallow it) but no money... Anyway, I have replaced the plugs the wires, and I have checked compresion (all well within 75% of each other) and injectors. I have made sure the firing sequence is correct as well. But I cant find the problem. Dose anyone have any ideas?
-Mike

Have you tried pulling out your spark plugs to see if the are wet (with fuel)? This could clue you in to which cylinder(s) is/are not firing, and you can deduce down from there.

Check your fuel pressure regulator. If there's any gas in the vacuum line and it's flooding the engine you need to address it asap. Easy to replace, though.
