    EGR could be clogged up something bad.

    The DPFE sensor.

    I'm betting it's that EGR valve dude. Mine clogged up and my truck ran like shat until I replaced it.

    Cats very well could be it too. Drive it and see if they're red afterwards.

    Hmmm I didn't realize the Egr would do this. I think I will replace mine soon. Cause I'm starting to get symptoms

    if you dont get a real motorcraft dpfe it can fail again. I had those same symptons and it does it only every 3 or 4 months but hasnt done it in a good while after i replaced dpfe. Like my truck would rev by itself and fall on its face and miss and spit and sputter.
