Hello and welcome to FTE 2000 F150!

Two things come to mind. Clean the MAF sensor and replace the fuel filter. Good luck!

Is the CEL on now? What was the actual code that you had before? Have you cleaned the carbon out of the EGR elbow?

Shouldn't have to use premium fuel unless there is a programmer in the truck.
