1993 Ford F150 Stalling an shaking or sluggish

1993 Ford F150 V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 135000 miles

When I first start my truck and start to drive away, my truck shakes a lot, it feels sluggish and has a loss of power. This only occurs for about ten seconds, but it is only when I start the car and take off.

The next problem I have is when I accelerate quickly, my truck will sometimes stall, this can happen anytime, but it doesnt happen all the time. If it doesnt stall it will just shake and feel sluggish; when this happens the battery gauge also goes down.

Thanks for your time
Got any suggestions

Check your fuel pressure at the fuel rail. You may need a new regulator. How old is the fuel filter?
