idle problem 1990 f150 5.0

the truck (90 f150 5.0 auto ) runs great pulls fine idles when stopped fine.when i first start the truck it will fast idle but if i kick it down or let it kick down on its own it stumbles and dies unless i keep the rpms up .I have the manual and have cleaned the IAC i have the correct voltage at the EVP from the computer but iam not getting an ohm reading between the EVP and the VREF The tester will beep as they touch but no reading is this just a bad evp sensor and would it cause this.If you catch it and take off and it runs it will not repeat until its totally cooled off again. thanks

evp sensor

with no vacuum it says i should have ohms on my multimeter ( does not ) but as i give it vacuum per hose and mouth i can hear the egr valve move and the evp sensor gives a reading
