I wouldn't be too concerned that the idling caused it. I'm up in Massachusetts and during the winter, I DAILY left the hoe running for a good 20 minutes in the morning to warm it up before I left for work. Nothing like you're describing has ever happened to me. I wonder if maybe you just tricked your computer with your throttle inputs during the semi truck scenario and it dumped a bunch of fuel into the engine in anticipation of needing it and you simply flooded it. May have fowled some plugs temporarily.

That's seems logical and a good reason why it would happened. Thanks for your input dropmech.

Sounds like the crap my OBS was pulling when the MAF was intermittently going wacky....

I'm leaning toward fuel pump, check pressure to verify
You ever get home bro?

I got home a while ago. The motor turned off 3 times when I had increase acceleration when going up hills and the motor would stop and shut off. I tried to turn it a couple times till about the 10 time it will turn on. WOT is a joke now as it hesitates. I have not change the fuel filter since I bought it Oct 2011. So I'm trying to figure it out but now I see it has a Ford Fuel filter of that makes any sense. The first pic is the one from autozone. The second is what's on there. I do not know how to take it out. Special tool?? I'm hoping it's the filter and not the pump.

Do the same issues occur if you leave it in park or neutral and go WOT? If they do then do a fuel pressure test and see if the pressures drop. If it only happens under a real load then most kits have hoses long enough to run them out the hood and up against the window. Go WOT and see i the pressure drops. Not the safest method but it works and will verify fuel pressure is the cause.
