93 Thunderbird problem (it's just an out of shape Mustang, it's ok to help me!)

So I have a 93 T-bird, it's a 3.8. It has an unknown number of miles on it, so anything is possible.

Anyways, when I hit the gas to accelerate it just stumbles and and jerks really bad. It acts like its going to stall, but hasn't yet. It has been stalling when stopping occasionally. It is not reliable enough to be driven. But, if i put it in reverse it acts perfectly and accelerates with no problem.

So I'm trying to figure out what it is. I had a guy look at it and hook it up to the scan tool. There were no significant codes, just an ECT and canister purge failure. The fuel pressure was good, and I just replaced the fuel filter.

What could be wrong? Is it a transmission problem? The guy I talked to thinks it may be a fuel pump. We cleaned the MAF, since I've heard it can cause to Ford to act like this. I'm very confused as to why it is ok in reverse, but not drive. But, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you Matt, I will take a look at that tomorrow. Thanks for the link!

I tried the ECT, it didn't fix it. So then I tried the EGR pressure sensor. Nothing.

So now, I was driving it with the radio on, and every time I accelerate and it stumbles, the radio shuts off. So now i'm thinking it's an electrical problem. It is very intermitten, but 90 percent of the time it does it under normal acceleration. Any ideas anybody?
