Post Excessive engine missing

Hi everyone ! I'm new to this forum, and I need help big time. In 2001 bought a brand new 2001 ford f150 Lariat supercrew 5.4L and with 119k miles I decided
to give it a tune up with new spark plugs gaped at .054, new ignitio coils and new injectors, replaced the inline fuel filter, pulled out the throttle body out and gave
it a good clean up. After putting everything back together , it started ,but running very rough , I checked that all hoses were reconnected and kept doing the same, afraid to
screw it up even more , sent it to a repair shop where it has been for a month and they can't figure out the problem.
I bought all the parts from the dealer, but the fuel injectors Ford doesn't make them so the parts guy sold me a replacement , the truck came with 280 150 556
FOTE D5B yellow body and the new ones are green in color , I don't know what the flow rate is on the green colored ones, but the originals are 19# to 20# . Question is
could the injectors be the ones causing the problem?

The injectors could definitely be the problem. If the original are reusable put them back in and see how it runs.

I’m sorry, but your title really threw me for a loop 😭. But yeah like the other guy said I would try putting back the old injectors if you have them.

Green = 42# F150 ....5.4L Supercharged
Orange = 19# F150...5.4L Naturally Aspirated

BTW - You're over fueling....careful, don't hydro lock it.
