It could be the coolant sensor. Have you checked for trouble codes? Have you checked to make sure there isn't too much fuel pressure due to a bad regulator?

Yes I did put a new one on my old throttle body, then I got a new one with all new parts on it. I did change out the coolant sensor. New o2 sensor, plugs wires, EGR valve. How About the fuel press. Sensor, timing chain its not back firing. Thanks Skeater

Since you have done all of that, I would check fuel pump pressure. If it is within the manufacturer's specs, I would suspect that the injection spider needs replaced. Actually, it was a common problem back then.
