Spit and Sputter
Ok The truck : 95 f150 standard cab, 300-I6, 5 speed
The Problem: when i first start out in first the truck falls on its face when i get going a little farther a cleas alittle but still sputters then when it finally gets up to speed it only spits and sputters past 1/4 throttle .... if i push the pedal down any further it runs like its getting no spark or no fuel let up and it clears up
What ive replaced: ignition coil (msd street fire)
Autolite pro wires
Autolite platnium plugs

Could be lotsa stuff. Error code scans. A wild guess would be your MAP sensor. Clean you IAC also. Usually if you disconnect the IAC while at warm idle, and it doesn't try to stall, it's pooched.
No MAP? Then clean your MAF sensor w/ MAF sensor cleaner or Electronic contact cleaner (don't touch element w/ fingers). IAC's on air intake'/drivers side, looks like this:http://fordfuelinjection.com/?p=39
**** sorry i miss read its no MAF ... im not used to all these letters for sensors and stuff im used to workin on old carb engines ... this is my first fuel injected truck with a problem
So back to here.
yes the truck is goin to have codes checked thursday ... i will try the iac tomora that is directly on top of the throttle body correct and i just disconnect the connecter....i tryed 3 different kinds of injector cleaners no luck with each ...it does it really bad when im at low rpm in 1st gear just starting out

Mine's a bit more dramatic. What's your base timing set at? But right now my money's on low fuel pressure. Error codes scans & Fuel pressure test would help greatly. Save a lot of grief! Why waste time guessing & wondering.
