Most likely you have a bad COP (Coil On Plug) .
Maybe more than one. Very common ford problem for last 12 years.
If you get a MIL Light on the dash (the wrench),check for a PO300 Code.
A PO304 would be coil #4,PO306 #6 Etc.
Cyl 1 thru 4 on pass side
Cyl 5 thru 8 on driver side,front to back

Also hills cause a hi engine vacuum and thus a possible EGR Valve going bad. You can unplug the vacuum lines and plug, to diagnose that issue.

Also leave the EGR disconnected if your working on coil issues. Just note the MIL light will stay on all the time,and remember to check your 300 codes if you feel a hesitaton or miss.

04 Ford Expedition trouble accelerating.Struggle to get to 30 mph Engine light with code p0174 system too lean bank 2. P0172 system too rich bank 1. What to fix?

ok............when you change plugs the cmptr needs to relearn firing order. it takes 3-5 times/restarts before it relearns. I went through the exact same thing with my expedition. a day or two later she purred like a kitten. secondly if you are having acceleration problems you may be looking at a bad catalytic converter. lastly......check your air filter, take it out and see how it runs without filter. that was also an issue I had when it was rough running. good luck

Was having a slight hitch when accelerating up hills then the other day my cat got red hot and it would barely run, now i fixed the cat problem but it wont start, any tips?

When the engine really got hot is there a possibility you may have over expanded some parts and now the engine is sort of tight and is not spinning fast enough to start.

Check for spark and fuel delivery but ......................
