2016 5L engine issue
I have an 2016 f150 xlt 302A with the 5L
I want to know if somebody else have this issue?
When I start my truck, everything is fine, but when I put it in drive/reverse and hit the gas, the engine won’t rev up and the truck doesn’t move. I had to stop it and start it again to make it move.
No check engine or light come on in the dash,I took it to the dealer few time and the scan tool see nothing wrong in it!?
Always occur when im park and the engine is idling bad
anyone have or heard about something like this?

I've got the exact same vehicle as yours. Nope, never did what you described.
Maybe the electronic 'fly by wire' accelerator system has a random malfunction.
A loose or spread pin in a connector somewhere?
If the problem is not reproduced at the dealership at least you'll have the visit on record.
Who knows, they might even have a TSB on the problem.

I got an appointement, I left my truck to the dealer for 2 days and the truck wont do the trouble and got any active or stored code in it.
So they tell me, maybe if I bring the truck right after it fail, maybe they can see something with the scan tool. I did this, and once again, they found nothing with the scan tool.
They talk me about the tps( throttle position sensor) , but the tech said if the tps is the trouble they should see any kind of record in tne scan tool.
And the tps only dont explain why the truck dont move, normally just ideling in drive/reverse the truck should move.
the trouble occur either if the truck is warm or cold at the first or second start, if I start it with the key or the remote, if its -10 or +10 celcius outside...

....Always occur when im park and the engine is idling bad....
This might explain why it doesn't move when in gear at idle.
When this rough idle happens, what is the engine rpm?
Could be the PCM won't allow throttle below a certain engine idle rpm.
Just a guess.
Whats puzzling, I'd think the problem is serious enough for the PCM to throw a CEL trouble code.

I've had good luck capturing all of my trucks many faults on video for my dealer....I say that, but both major issues that I have video of occurring, they've not been able to fix.
It's a pain in the *** and my phone is full of failed attempts to get my truck to do the faulty behavior, but it's helped with the whole "I couldn't replicate it, so I don't think it's actually happening, **** off" thing that happens when you bring an intermittent issue to the dealers.
Here are my latest two videos....
1: nasty clutch slipping sound on downshift from 5 to 3:
2: Door latches freezing, after recall done:
