I recently just dropped a new 5.0 crate engine in my 92 bronco along with an new exhaust. I am having some issues in the engine department though, my engine idles great but when i press the throttle i have hesitation and when i let off it wants to choke out for a second and then comes back to full idle. I have not checked my fuel pressure yet but i checked my alternator with a multi meter because when i rev the engine the voltage tachometer shoots up to about 17 18 and then when i let off it goes back down to 14 to 15. When checking my alternator i get about 11.85 volts under load when i rev it up i get 12.5. I am assuming that my alternator is bad and it needs to be swapped but is there any chance the alternator can create hesitation in the acceleration of the engine. I took it on a test drive and the engine cut off on me twice but started right back up so that's a signal of alternator failure to. Thanks for the help

Yo Koerey,
WELCOME!
Try a Self Test for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC)s by my pal, BroncoJoe19 @ Code Reader

Some no code usual suspects by Ford;
Vacuum leak, see my leak diagnosis link in post #11

Air filter, is it relatively clean?
Air inlet atop radiator support to filter box and to throttle body; look for obstruction; damaged tubing, openings in tubing, loose fit at throttle body or at MAF sensor. Is the air fiklter a K&N type? If so, coukd be over-oiled?

Fuel quality; Oxidized fuel often turns darker over time and may even smell sour. You can check stored gasoline by pouring some into a clear glass container and comparing it side-by-side with known fresh gasoline. If your old sample looks noticeably darker than the fresh gas, you have strong evidence the gas has gone bad.

Electrical connectors; inspect for corrosion, etc, at coil, firewall, ICM, distributor, PCM, etc. Especially those with broken locking tabs.
And,
