Default 08 f250 5.4 runs like crap

Ok here's what's happening it spitting and spuddering real bad. Throws a check engine lite but the scanner will not read it. Throttle seem to be up and down run smooth sometimes but the runs like crap. You guys or girls have ever heard of this or no of any ideas let me know thanks.

is the check engine light flashing or just coming on? if its flashing, you wont get a code, but that means the pcm sees something the engine is doing (misfiring) that will damage the cats. probably time for spark plugs
