When it is running, how does it run; sluggish, lacking power, pinging, knocking?
How did you pull the codes?
Have you disconnected the battery? (Don't)

Question The way it runs

There is no pinging or knocking, but it is sluggish and lack of power at times.
I have a code reader that you plug into the truck
And yes, I did disconnect the battery and hooked it back up.

Disconnecting the battery resets the computer, telling it that "Everything is A Okay (hiccup)"
But, luckly the computer is smart enough to realize after a day or two of driving, something is amiss.

Angry 96 f150 ideas

Does anyone have any ideas what it possibly could be or sounds like it could be? I am totally lost, I understand the way to found out what it is, I have to pull the codes, but now I have to wait a couple days or longer

Some ideas would be really helpful, because I don't know where to go anymore

I suggest you go around the block a few times to throw the fault codes. Might take many trips around the block. Then don't disconnect the battery. Then read the codes.

What exactly is the problem? Hard start when it is warm? Starts fine when cold?

Problem starting

It will start, but once the truck gets to running temp, I can't shut the truck off because I will be stranded where I am at. It doesn't start back up at running temp, I have to wait for the truck to cool down.
