5.0 running rough

anyone know enough about the Bronco/5.0l V8 to diagnose my only transportation?

Idle is fine one second, then it starts "hunting", then dies, intermittent... then restart has it idle at 2K, then back to around 7/800....then hunts...then dies.

Been happening a couple days now... today on way into range, at 55/60mph, the engine felt a little choppy... engine light came on for a nano second, felt like it was missing....

Anyone have any epiphany's for me?? Im stuck

Ya that is just telling that no one has had this issue... I remember when I had an issue and I pulled the codes and there were none to pull So I had to start figuring it out on my own..... Seems help has to have codes here. I am begining to think this site is a waste of time. You would think that someone could help without the codes. How many people answering questions have know how with out a code book telling you.
That is all I am asking for.
Can anybody help???
Prove me wrong Lets not be so dependant on technology

For those who could use an answer.
the TPS was changed and the throttle body was cleaned including the Airflow sensor.
After this was done there has been no problems.
No Codes Pulled
I thank you for your support
