Hi there
sounds like you done allot to this car. did you clean your gas tank? Reason i say this there are times you get bad gas that water with it. and it sounds like you got water in your tank. need to get it out. Try this get some rubbing alcohol and poor it in your tank.

Remember, they don't hire rocket scientists at Auto Zone, ask your local dealership for the right part and then purchase the part at another auto store.

Accerleration sluggish

Try cleaning the fuel injection system with seafoam and replacing the fuel filter. Look up seafoam on youtube. BTW really really really really bad idea running a vehicle on jack in gear.

Engine bogging down when pushing the brakes

Sounds like a vacuum hose problem - check the brake booster and hoses.

I just replaced Fuel Pump, truck starts fine but when I drive it bogs out like its running out of gas

Assuming it does have gas in the tank, I would check the fuel pressure at the rail if its MFI or the throttle body if the injector are there.
Also, did you replace the fuel filter when you replaced the pump ?
Any chance you connected the pump to the wire that goes to the sending unit by mistake ?

Having a qualified repair shop do diagnostic's is probably what you should do , rather then replacing a bunch of parts that are not needed . Testing fuel pressure an flow , engine managment sensor input's to the PCM - engine computer . Do you know what a professional scanner is ? mass air flow sensor data , fuel trims ,short an long term , are the O2 sensor's switching normally ,

I have a 2004 f150 with a 5.4 that bogs down around 2500 rpm and doesn't smooth back out until it gets just above 3000. Any tips on what is causing this?

I've seen two concerns that will definitely cause this concern. The first suggestion would be to replace the spark plugs if the vehicle has 50k or more miles. Ford originally stated that the original plugs would last 100k. It was later suggested that they be replaced at 60k. I've fixed several trucks by simply (or not so simply) replacing the spark plugs. Use caution, the plugs may break when removing. A symptom of this concern is as you stated but also on wide open throttle applications. the vehicle will bog down and sputter, then finally smooth out. A spark plug concern will typically not throw code because the computer monitors changes in rpm and is relative. If all cylinders aren't firing correctly, the computer doesn't know any different and does not store a code. Also, depending on the mileage, check the fuel filter.

The second concern could be the intake manifold runner control. This is used to modify torque and is located inside of the intake manifold.

Good luck, if you can't leave four thumbs up, please ask for more information. Have a great day!

My integra bogs down at higher rpms

First run a tank of a strong fuel system cleaner like BG-44K. If that doesn't help, clean the throttle body. If that doesn't help, take it to a mechanic.

1976 Ford F150 Bogs down when accelerater is pressed.

if it has a converter on it.....it may be stopped up, but before you replace it have the fuel pump checked, as it may not be getting enough gas at higher rpms. It will start and idle fine, but starve out when you press the pedal. Have you changed the fuel filter?That will cause the same problem.....
