Default 92 pops and backfires

my truck will idle ok but when u give it gas it pops and backfires and runs like crap. i've changed cap, coil, rotor, pick up coil, fuel filter, plugs, and computer, nothing has helped. fuel pressure is about 30-35 while idling but when u give it gas it goes up to 40, don't really want to change the fuel pump and that not fix it. had it on three different computers and it shows no codes. any help would be great.

Your fuel pressure is normal, but it sounds like more of a timing issue. But just for grins and giggles, have you checked the catalytic converter? They have caused me similar problems in the past.
