Tough start when engine hot

Ok, I have been round and round with this one. My F150 is an inline 6. Runs beautifully any temp, with or without air on. Idles just fine when finally running. Always starts from the cold or cool engine. Since last year, when the engine is hot (as if I have just stopped at the store for something and got back in within 15-30 minutes) it wont idle correctly. It will turn over and stay running like a harley davidson gone wrong. It will rock the truck and even knock in the engine. It wont stall, but wont idle either. The codes usually read about the crank sensor but I have had it replaced 2 times and no change.After the 2nd or 3rd time it finally stalling out, it starts and idles just fine. Pumping the gas or not pumping the gas makes no difference either.
A little help here would be great.
Thanks
