I have a 93 d150, 318 5.2 liter v8 I just bought it off a supposed friend, I had it put in the shop for tune up, ground issues, large amount of steering drift, and an oil leak, a month later all seemed well and I drove it for about 2 weeks, I'm on I-95 in Georgia and it starts making an extremely loud banging sound so I clutch and drop to neutral and coast the side for about a mile, my engine just goes and quits. I get a friend to come and tow my truck home, pop the hood and manual crank the engine. It goes 3/4 of the way around. So I ask some advice, ( this is my first mechanical trial) I find that my connecting rod snapped on the first piston. I pulled the number 1 piston and arm off an identicle 93, everything in the cylinder was alright and I cleaned out my oil pan, bought all new gaskets and rebuilt the head. Ok. I turn the key and it started right up. My only probleem was that if I took my foot off the accelerator it dies, it wont idle, so I read a million threads on df and my father said my timing sounds off, I get my rotor on pin 1 and harmonic balancer on tdc, put it together check my lines check my vacuum hoses, all seems good, I'm excited, then it starts up and does the same thing, I am a rookie but have a lot of common sense, ( s*+t, it took me only 6 hours to rebuild it) bit now I'm at a loss, rough idle and it wont stay running, any insight or ideas would be appreciated.

here is a diy of how to clean it. it is a bit harder to do on a truck since it is on the back of the throttle body but not impossible.
