It would help to know how cold it is where you are ,if this has happened before , what grade of oil you are running , if you plug it in is it the same result .is it time for an oil change & have you done any testing ? Ect

pluggin the ebp valve back in is pure coincidence, you smackign the throttle cured the problem.
below 40 ford reccomends runnign 10w30 oil in the powerstroke engine. the oil fired injectors are unable to remain efficient at cold temps on thick oil. you are left with 10w30 convential oil or 5w40 synthetic oil as a choice in the winter, or deal with the "romps"
another thing to check is the icp sensor- while the truck is "romping" simply unplug it. if oil is the problem the truck will "hiccup" and smooth right out. if there is no change then look towards your transmission range sensor. to test that shift to neutral while the truck is "romping" and see if it clears up.
