4.2 sputtering

I just bought a 2000 F150 with the 4.2 V6 at an auction.I got it home but she idles rough and when I stop at a stop sign she stalls.When accelerating it will cut out but if you creep up to speed real slow you dont notice it.It has about a quarter tank of gas and I am not sure how old it is.Any clues to what this could be???
