try changing your oxygen sensor I have changed the oxygen sensor and it did not help. Do you have any other ideas? Could it be the carb?

2001 Ford F-250 with 5.4 Gas engine once warm it surges between 1500 to 2000 rpm you have changed fuel filter and both oxygen sensors what else can it be?

I am currently troubleshooting the same issue on a 2003 F250 SuperDuty. It seems intermittent and to only happed under low acceleration when the vehicle is warm around 40-50MPH. I am guessing that it is the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor.) It could also be the O2 sensors but I am going about this in ascending cost order. The dealership indicated that the plugs and coils should be changed. The coils are about $60 each and there are 8 of them. You do the math. I will change them as a last resort. I can't see how a bad coil would cause a miss at very low throttle but not anywhere else in the throttle range. This is why I am suspecting the TPS. I will also change the plugs, air filter and fuel filter today. I'll report back with any information as i know this is a common issue. Incidentally, the vehicl has 78,000 miles on it.

What About the sensor? If it's broken? Not working right? If your truck surges up and down when you are pressing the gas pedal then it might need changing.
