Question 2001 8.0L V10 problems

My truck runs rich at idle. Also while driving, it has an occasional miss but clears up when you accelerate. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Start simple first
I would check your wires and plugs, I had a break in one wire once that would cause a miss.
Also I tried different plugs once and the truck didn't respond well to them.
I recommend the champions that came on it stock. The number should be on the emmisions tag under the hood ( i cant remember #).
I couldn't find them at local parts stores but the dealers got them in stock.
Welcome to the forum.
