1998 5.4L Troubles

I just got my truck back on the road, after it breaking six months ago, but now my truck is idleing rough while it's sitting, and when I'm driving in overdrive, its shakes pretty bad. But when I get on the gas, it picks up and goes great, so not a miss fire.... any ideas? Also, I just filled my tank up and the gauge is going down quicker then I remember, maybe just me. Could it be a sensor on the air intake?

No, I only have the same P1000 (Not driven enough to know code) but I drove about 20 miles and the check engine light was flashing for a minute going up a steep bridge, then went off again. Plugged my tuner back in to get the code and still nothing again. idk whats going on..

Around about guess 150,000-175,000 miles. I think 164,000 miles.

The truck just shot some codes, I have P0303 and P0304 #3&4 mis-fire. So I guess bad coils.
