I have a 2005 5.4 3V that has a horrible miss at WOT. When driving around normally the truck behaves just fine, but when I floor it to pass traffic the engine pulls, then stumbles, then pulls a little, then stumbles some more. The check engine light flashes and the vehicle goes into "limp home" mode for about 20 seconds.
If I let out of the thottle, everything smoothes out. The most annoying thing is that the engine doesn't store a trouble code! I haven't been able to find a TSB for this, so I'm going to try and replace the spark plugs and fuel filter to see if that helps.
Has anyone experienced this? It is really scary because the truck is somewhat unsafe to drive when you can't depend on the power to be there when you need it.
