This is probably an engine using a carburetor. If it starts and idles good and dies when the accelerator is pressed it is probably the accelerator pump on the carburetor. The accelerator pump supplies the fuel to operate the engine in this transition period from idle to part throttle until the venturi effect catches up to draw the necessary fuel the engine needs to continue running at the current demanded rate of speed. If the butterflies are opened and there is not sufficient fuel squirted into the engine when larger amounts of air are in demand it starves for fuel and thus stalls.If it is fuel injected then you have other problems, but my guess is it is a carburetor version. Ford went to fuel injection in 1990. You can just purchase the power valve if needed. You don't need the complete kit. Good luck

Need vacuum diagram/ starts, can keep an idel , give gas dies

Only place to get that is from the dealer or go on line to alldatadiy.com and buy a one year subscription for your car and it will have the locations on everything on the car, you might get the dealer to give you a printout for it as well, they may or may not charge you for the service.
