Have you checked your plug wires and plugs? I had a similar problem in my old 04 5.4, thought I got ahold of bad gas cause it would stumble and sputter like hell taking off from an idle, but run fine once up to speed. I had one of my plug wires that got too close to the header and burnt up, never threw any codes, but put a stocker back on and the problem went away.
