Sounds like a cylinder misfire, but as already stated, need a little more info.

My thoughts exactly. Sounds like the typical plug symptom of the 5.4

Okay well to check if the plugs are original pull off a coil and look at the plug. If there's a pink (I believe it was pink) dot on the end then they're original. If you want to find out for sure take it for a full diagnostic. They'll be able to tell you what's going on. Not sure how much it'll cost you though
