I have a 98 expodition 5.4 2wd automatic, when driving down the road I give it gas and it starts shaking let off gas and it stops. There is no check engine light on. When idling you can hear a putter from exhaust

Check fuel pressure.
Could just need to be maintenanced: plugs, wires, fuel filter,ect..
If it was a sensor problem the CEL should have came on.

You're describing a misfire under load. It's surprising that the check engine light isn't picking up on that but it is very common for a weak coil to do that on that vehicle. The usual cure is to replace the offending coils and all of the plugs.
