car sputtering and poping

i have a 93 5.0 with 37,000 miles on it(bone stock) and upon acceleration the car is real hesitant and pops and sputters. it does it at lower rpms until the motor gets fully warmed up. i changed my spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap and rotor, and my thtottle position sensor. and its still doing it.

The stock gauges don't read fuel pressure. You'll need to rule that out. Also checking the timing wouldn't hurt. It may be running lean while it warms up. Maybe an issue w/ the ECT sensor.
