2001 5.4 Expedition I need help

Thanks for the help. I just bought this truck a few months ago. I went hunting and was going slowly up a good hill and my truck stopped while I had the gas pedal floored, engine running. If I get a run and some speed no problems. Even put it in 4wd and the engine was going and the car went nowhere. If I am on flat ground rolling slowly and punch the pedal to the floor I get some misses or it feels like the transmission is slipping in low gear. Riding on the highway the tranny works like a charm so I do not think it is an issue. I could be wrong. I was driving around a turn at about 45mph and the engine cut out and then started right up when I tried to start it. That only happened one time. Could be fuel filter, fuel pump, mass air flow sensor, Idle air control valve, fuel injectors, clogged cats, or I am lost. Anybody have a zero in on this? Thanks. Truck runs fine except when going up steep hills slowly then it will slow to a stop with the engine running, even in 4wd low, and no matter how hard I press the gas pedal there is no power to get up the hill. Thanks for any help!!!
Greg

I first look at the fuel pump, check what the fuel pressure is.

There were no codes when I posted this, then 3 popped up and I fixed them. The truck runs great except from a stop to the shift to second gear. When I press the gas pedal all the way down it takes off great then stumbles a little then takes off great then stumbles a little, about 3 stumbles. I would not call is a miss. hoping the transmission is not the issue. Tranny runs great shifting like a champ even when I jump on it at high speeds. Ran the truck a couple of days and drove it home 5 hours today so I am thinking if it was a code issue it would pop up. I also changed the fuel filter, tested the fuel pump (cracked some old hoses and got a code, fixed it) and replaced a coil in cylinder #5. Runs really great except when I jump on it while it's in first then a couple of stumbles, then it shifts at about 35mph and no stumbles. Thanks for any help.

If you would tell us what the codes were, it would help with diagnosis.

Codes

Codes P0171 lean left bank, P0305 misfire #5, P0442 emission leak. I believe I fixed all of these changing some hoses and an ignition coil on #5. Drove it several times including a 5 hour drive home Saturday with a couple of stops and no codes. Thank you.
