1991 Ford F-150 kicking spitting and sputtering

Engine Performance problem
1991 Ford F150 V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic

at idle fine but go to give her gas and she back fires and jerks and sputters, but will take the gas but throght the whole range cuts out and back fires,

I thought fuel overload, maybe computer sees a lean condition? But no black smoke,

does the ford have a throttle control sensor? Would it be that?

is there something blocking the breathing? Exhaust?
