NEED HELP

1988 350 TPI. When the car is on, and I go to rev it, it hesitates before it revs up. Like a miss fire, or no gas. When it gets to operating temp and reving it for a while it will stall. Also when I put it in gear, it goes to stall, or it does stall. This problem started out as a hesitation at cold start up and has progressed to this. I can't even drive the car. I have changed:
Temp sensor, fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel ingectors, tps, iac, distributor, coil, wires, spark plugs.
None of these things have changed the problem. Also no engine codes.

Re: NEED HELP

Nid you adjust the tps and IAC correctly? I would think IAC, myself... How about your IAT sensor on the bottom of the plenum?

Re: NEED HELP

I adjusted the tps, but I didn't know about the iac. How do I adjust that? Also when the the car hesitates when I rev it it sometimes has a little backfire in the intake.
