Question 01 Expy running bad?

My wife's Expy is an 01 with 50,000 mi. It has the 4.6L engine. Last week it started missing when you give it gas at 30+mph, expecially when going up bridges or overpasses. It stalls like it is not getting fuel. I thought the fuel filter may be dirty, so I had her take it to Instalube and have it changed. I am working long hours right now, so I am trying to solve this problem either over the phone or at night when I get home (trying to avoid a high mechanic bill!). The problem is a little better but not solved. It idles normal. It only does this when you driving down the road. I am thinking either burned out spark plug or plugged fuel injector. Any ideas? Thanks.

Does the CEL come on? With probs like that it would surely be producing a code.

Yikes, hard to diagnose without a code.

It shouldn't be a plug, but it could be a coil pack.

Good Luck.
