351w problems

I have an 88 f-150 with a 351 and its having a problem like its not getting fuel sometimes. whenever im starting from a stop and if i press the gas to accelerate, at around 30/kmh itll stop accelerating and kind of pause for a second or 2 and if i keep my foot on the gas then itll pick up again then its fine usually until i slow down again to a stop or almost stop. the fuel pump in the tank and the high pressure pump in the frame was just changed a year and a half ago. i can also drive the truck fine for a good 10 min when its cold until it starts happening. any idea what this could be would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
