Default Major Engine Problem Need Help ASAP

well i have a 94 mustang GT and i ahve a major problem when i hit about 1500 RPMs that car starts stalling but doesnt quite stall just tries to but it does drop to the point where my car jumps around and i cant get anywhere in the car i actually had to be towedback to Tampaafter trying to go back to my apartment(in Orlando)from tampa cause i couldnt use any gear because of this problem and it was at all RPMs at that point

i thought it was the TPS so i replaced it only to have the problem still persist and without any OBD1 scan tools available to me i am running out of ideas except to randomly change parts which i cnat afford to do and dont want to do

Is the check engine light on? You don't need a scanner to get any codes, you can ground the STI to the negative side of your battery and get the codes. Go to www.fordfuelinjection.com and it will walk you through the process of getting the codes, that's if there are any! Good luck!

we need mod info, and as much info you can give about when and all variables that might make a difference.

the car has an MSD cap Accel wires a K&N filter an O/R H pipe flowmasters and im pretty sure the previous owner put a cam in it but im not sure one the cam

and i just drove it around the block and it wont let me get to a grand now before it starts doing this it sounds like a really bad misfire but i am not sure and i can get it to about 30 in 5th if i take it wasy and let it accelerate itself and if i drop it to 2nd at 30 it backfrires really loud but even then it wont go above a grand even when i dropped to 2nd

perform a fuel pressure test and based on results check pump output and or a restriction in the filter..if prob happened all at once look for a faulty component such as a pump ..if it's ignition related ..try running a koeo/koer test while car still runs if it does and if not check for spark
