Check fuel pressure. If good, rebuild carb.

How is your charging system? Sounds to me like it's not charging your battery, so it runs until the battery cannot support the ignition load.

i had a van do this same thing to a tee turned out to be a broken key pin in the harmonic balencer causing the timing to ****** replaced balencer and ran like a dream there is a crank sensor grid on the balencer when the key pin broke it trew the timing off

Ford 2004 6.0, Driving down road seams like when it starts warming up it starts Missing or accelerating,jerking,as long as you keep the acceleration it seems to work as soon as you level it out it starts missing,even dies at stoping sometimes...Changed fuel filter, put fuel additive in tank still missing,HELP

check plugs, wires, and coils for proper spark.

this could be caused by the ignition sytem needing a tune up,also check your fuel filter.

most likely not the fuel filter- try plugs and wires... could be a number of things, if the vehicle runs fine while in park and doesnt hesitate, most likely is sprk plugs and wires or a transmission problem...

change spark plugs if still haveing probs after that change fuel filter
