Fuel issues or ????

Ok im new at this and im definately new at cars(this being my 2nd) so i might not be the best at describing my issues with the car not myself lol, anyways here we go. I have a 2001 ford expedition XLT 4.6L 166,000 miles on it. Car turns on no problems. When its in park or neutrel the motor sounds wonderful, no sputtering no shaking no weird sounds. But when i drop it into gear either drive or reverse it doesnt matter, it starts to make a sputtering sound. When moving from a complete stop the engine goes completely slow like as if it's not getting any gas to the motor so if you pump the gas several times it will start to go and go and then finally it just goes like it's supposed to. But when at a stop light if you want to turn left it doesn't want to turn like at all and if you're going on an uphill slant and you're stopped it it's definitely not moving from there someone said that it could be a fuel injector issue but I'm not quite sure so that's why I'm here

Being a newer truck, mine is a 65, you have on board diagnostics or OBD2. Get ahold of a scanner and plug it in under the dashboard and see what codes it pops out and/or look at live data and see what is going on with it. I understand that you won't understand most of the data, but someone here does.
