Default Rough running 99

I have a 1999 F150 4x4 with the 5.4L
it's acting like it has a miss but it has new plugs and wires ... checked the coil packs (which is wierd it has the 4.6 dual coil pack setup) but I think the brain box is going or gone bad.. where is it located anyone know?

have you checked to see if your MAF sensor is dirty or your throttle position sensor is bad?... my truck has a leaking intake and its throwing a lean code to both banks of the motor and idles like it has a miss... plus a missing vacuum line could cause this too
