I have a 2001 4.7 V8 with the same problem. It only happens occasionally. Seems to happen more with cheap gas. Mine has done this since new. I took it to the dealer while under warranty and they told me it was my K&N filter. Only problem was, it did it before I put the K&N filter on. I now have 80,000 miles on it with no additional problems. I would love to know what causes this too.

Have you guys tried cleaning TB and IAC ? Might also be related to a bad TPS sensor.

Lead, follow, or get out of the way
