Basically since I can't read any error codes for some reason I had to try other things to troubleshoot the problem.
I knew it was something wrong with the throttle body.
I found that if I pulled the intake tube off and pushed on the throttle plates to move them open/closed a bit, then put everything back together it would run fine for a while.
So, I bought a new throttle body (newtakeoff.com).
Put it on tonight. Still bad... WTF...!!!
Now I've tried pushing and wiggling every connector in the engine bay while it was running to see if something was loose. Tried this several times in the past few weeks.
For some reason this time when I pushed on the throttle body actuator connector it started running properly.
Turns out if I pushed on it just right it would run fine. Let go and it was crap.
So I pull the connector apart and yes, one of the connector terminals was F'd up a bit.
It was completely loose when pushed onto the actuator motor connector.
The contact wiper was bent all the way down inside the pin so it didn't wasn't making good contact at all.
Bent it back into proper shape, fits tight. Everything works fine now...
Thanks Ford.
Anybody need a stock throttle body?

Nope. Still can't read any codes with the SCT or my Auto Xray code reader.
I cleared the check engine light just fine with the SCT but it won't read anything...
