Question 1993 Ford F-150 XTL Misses Inconsistently

Greetings,

I have a 1993 Ford F150 XTL 4.9 V8 and I have a weird issue where it feels like the truck will just miss once and then not miss for about 20-30 seconds then miss again. The more I drive the more it seems to miss per minute. If I press on the gas it will stop doing it. If I'm at around 50mph and let off the gas a little bit, then get back on it, it will miss until I get back into the throttle more.

Things I have done:
  • Replaced all the vacuum lines. They were damaged and it was losing vacuum. The truck now holds 17" of vacuum while idling.
  • Replaced Ignition Coil
  • Replaced Distributer
  • Read the codes out of the PCM, fixed what it said, and reset it. No additional codes are presenting anymore.
  • Tested Throttle Position sensor, it was smoothly rising in voltage and didn't jump around.
  • Cleaned the IAC Valve. It was pretty dirty
  • Cleaned Throttle Body. It was mostly clean
  • Battery grounding to truck body was bad. Cleaned connectors and mount point. Also cleaned positive terminals and ends.
  • Engine Ground was dirty too, cleaned it.
  • Tested Fuel regulator, when I removed vacuum line fuel pressure rose to 40psi.
  • Fuel pressure starts at 35psi and hovers around 30psi while truck is running
  • Cleaned EGR valve, validated that under vacuum the valve rises and falls.
  • Wires and plugs are less than 5 years old.
  • Ran fuel injector cleaner through it
Truck starts easy and doesn't stall out, it just has that miss from time to time. I'm kind of at a loss on what to test or replace next. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
