Bad crank shaft sensor will make it do that, check it or replace it, it's located on lower front passenger side bolted to timing chain cover next to ur ac compressor

I have checked the crankshaft sensor and when I removed it, it had oil and dirt. It's that normal?

Well, there's many things than can cause it, one is the crankshaft positioning sensor, and the others that u mentioned also vacuum leaks or a dirty throttle body

The vehicle has no vacuum leaks and everything else are clean. Do you think it might be the fuel pump.

Check fuel pressure to see if it's ok. When was the last time u replaced fuel filter, if u haven't, u may want to do it as a routime maintenance anyway

Check fuel pressure to see if it's ok. When was the last time u replaced fuel filter, if u haven't, u may want to do it as a routime maintenance anyway. Filter is located under truck by driver's side, u'll need special tool to release hoses from filter, just ask for it at ur local auto parts store

To guruLTKTX, try your intake manifold gaskets. Notorious for going out. Easy job. Most people just live with it when you don’t have to. Another is a monster. OIL PUMP. Root of most all problems below intake.

These engines especially the 3v are ahead of their time. I love them. After you know what to look for, you quit throwing parts at them. Well maintained, hands down some of the best engines I’ve owned. There’s some upkeep. But, for what you get, well worth it. Just a little FYI, you know the 5.4 liter expedition is only rated less than 200lbs difference in towing capacity as the 2500 suburban. Look it up.

I changed all of the above and still had acceleration issues. Very costly. So I spent 50 dollars and changed the crankshaft position sensor my self and BAM! Hello acceleration!!!
