Truck is throwing a code, and this is what I found it to be. and now it is spitting and sputtering and doesn't want to stay running. Like bad fuel or something.

Hello,

What exactly is the code number? And is this the 5.0Liter f-150? extra-cab or not? DId you get a code 335? I put up a list of EGR related codes.

I'm putting up the EGR position wiring diagrams so you can check the circuits.
So, the first diagram is the 5-volt Reference circuit, so it should test as 5 volts.
Second diagram is the Signal wire going back to the ECM.
third diagram is a shared Ground wire, shared with a few other sensors.
The fourth diagram is the ECM pins. You should have the same Signal Voltage at the ECM here on Pin #27 (brown/light green wire) as you have on the Signal wire at the EGR position Signal Wire.
Hopefully, this will help you find out what's going on with these circuits. I will add guides to help as well.
