Engine running rough

This problem I am having is itermittent. It occurs within a few minutes after starting the engine. Today I started the engine then drove out the parking lot to the main street, then turned and went a block to the stop sign. There were no cars coming so I turn onto the street and stepped on the gas to accelerate and the engine start missing really bad like it was was not getting ang fuel. This went on for about 5 seconds then suddenly accelerated like normal again. It never has done this in the morning after sitting over night. Only after the truck has been used. Last fall I had a COP go and this seems different, like there is no power at all. My fuel filter was change last year. Can anyone suggest were to start looking.
I have a 1998 F150 with a 5.4l auto trans. 120,000 km (75,000 miles)

You might watch the fuel pressure when you are having the problem. It could be a weak pump or a dirty MAF.

Might try running some fuel injector cleaner thru a couple tanks. I like chevron with techron.

The check engine light so far has not come on at all. It may be a week or so before this power loss will happen again. I use fuel injector cleaner every 3 months when I change the oil. I will try and clean the MAF this week. Could the fuel pressure regulator cause this type of problem.
