Exclamation 2000 X V-10 Running Rough

Just last week, my X started to run rough. My wife ran the tank a little lower than normal. We had a rapid weather change here in Michigan and she might of sucked up some water and gunk into the fuel line. It runs rough at idle but smooths out at higher rpms. I added a couple bottles of gas treatment at the last fill. Not much of an improvement. Car starts every time and runs well when I step on it or get the rpms up. When it first shifts to o/d, it starts to run rough. I do not get a check engine light. I do not know where to start!

HELP!!!

Try some seafoam to your tank and in your vacuum line.

Sounds like a good time to run down to the dealership and look at the 2009 Excursions.
