1992 Ford F-150 seems like it is about to die every time a have to give it a little bit of gas. And I'm not talking about 'flooring' it either. This seems to be a common problem among other google users but I didn't find a solid answer. Please advice! Thank you!

There is no one common cause to a symptom like that. It can be any number of things and it has to be troubleshooted using a scan tool and analyzing the sensor data.

No, someone knowledgeable is going to have to look over all the data to see if anything is not where it should be and why.

What's some common reasons why this could happen though. I'm sure you have heard of this before. It is VERY common on Google search engines! Awaiting your help.

There is no way anyone on the Internet can know what is going on in your car without it being examined. You didn't find an answer on Google because there isn't one. There are literally hundreds of things that could lead to a symptom like that.

You have to look at values for TPS, MAF/MAP, ECT, IAT, fuel adaptives both long term and short term, O/2 voltages, open or closed loop, fuel pressure, maybe do an injector balance test, etc, etc, depending what is found.
