Angry NO POWER!

I have a 2004 F250 6.0L - lost power after stepping on peddle. The air cooler pipes on front of engine came apart after I forgot to tighten after replacing a hose. Have not been able to get power since then - will only idle. Can anyone help?

Are you saying the vehicle starts fine and will get idle smoothly, but when you step on the throttle nothing happens? No rpm change at all as you push on the throttle?
Do you have a tool to look for codes?

Starting hard, will idle lower than normal. Once warms up, if I hold my foot on peddle the rpms will slowly come up. Put in drive and loose any rpms it just had -

You need to get a monitoring device and start looking at numerous outputs. Could be bad FICM, HPOP issues, injectors.
if you have a smartphone, download the Forscan app and get a obd WiFi or Bluetooth adapter that will work with your phone.
