It probably needs one or more coils. When you changed the spark plugs, what brand did you use and did you use dielectric grease in the coil boots? How many miles are on it?

You should have used grease, pull them off, inspect for damage, and reinstall them with a small amount of grease in the boots. If that doesn't help, I'd replace them all because trying to find which one or ones are weak is a pain.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/FORD-E150-F150-VISTEON-IGNITION-COILS-DG508-ALL-8-BRAND-NEW-/181091202637?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a29e0764d&vxp=mtr
Those are OEM, and less than half the price of the dealer or parts store.

Motorcrafts are the best plugs, aftermarket plugs and/or coils will not increase your torque one bit.

If those are the original boots, the heat has probably made them subject to cracks. I would replace all the boots. And use dielectric grease.

Not a very good programmer. You haven't fixed the problem, all you did was mask it.

Nope. You are just hiding the problem, you have to find out what is actually CAUSING it and fix it.
