F150 302 stalls whenever I start it. I use a stick to keep it idling.
It stalls when I go from park to reverse, or change any gear, or go around a sharp corner.
Changed the plugs, the rotor and cap, and muffler.
What do I try next?

Vacuum leak?Maybe brake booster leaking? Bobby
Change the muffler again. <g>
Maybe muffler was installed backwards and it's filling the engine with exhaust. Take muffler loose, carefully lower to ground, turn truck around and reinstall muffler.

You should check the length of the stick. Different years used different sticks.

How about reporting what codes have been set? Autozone will scan it for you for free.
Low oil pressure? I had this in my 86 Bronco 302. 1 foot on the brake, and 1 foot on the gas as the song goes. I have heard of several people that had the same problem with their 302's. Thing died on me with low compression finally. Keep heavy weight oil like 10w 40 in it.
how about the air idle control motor?
