Plugged cats?
I hopped in my truck this morning, fired it up, and it idled nicely. I drove around the corner, and noticed that the truck was barely responding to the throttle. Then things got shaky. It was a very rough idle, almost like a misfire. But I managed to get the gas to respond and got the revs up to about 3K and it seemed to run smooth.
No CEL either.
Currently, I have no place to really look at my truck as I don't have a garage, or driveway for that matter.
I don't have a scanner that can read live data either. I'm limited in my tools currently as well.
So... Any ideas that i can look into?

Okay, I got some codes now.

I reset the codes, ran the truck for a few minutes and now I'm only getting

I don't think Cyl. 5 is really misfiring and I'm wondering if this isn't a VCT issue.
Any thoughts?

I have also looked at the engine some more in the daylight and determined that I have the older 5.4 motor as my VCT sits on top of the valve cover.
Before I go out and start buying parts I might not need, should I try the VCT sensor or does anyone else have any ideas?
