Default 4.6 v8 hesistation

i recently bought a 2000 gt mustang. in the first day of owning it i've had a hesitation problem. i have changed fuel filter, spark plugs, and the boots that go around the bottom of the coil packs.i've had the codes read twice and neither time has a code come up! my brother tested the coil packs and they were all close to the same voltage. the problem seems to be intermittent in that it goes from somewhat of a problem to a major problem in a matter of hours of driving. any help would be greatly appreciated, i can't seem to find a fix or a suggestion on the forum[:@]

No offense but I drove a 2000 vert and I think its just that year. The power difference was unreal. Dont know why. My car didnt have the mods then it does now, but it still seemed so slow!

???????????????????????? my car ran fine stock. maybe that vert was screwed up or something.

E.smith:
what plugs are you running? it almost sounds like a misfire. you might want to try some fuel system cleaner as well...

Where is the hesitation? Is it off idle or high in the RPM band, or anywhere in the RPM band?

I don't think you can call that hesitation when you let off the gas and it 'jolts' forward. That would be a product of fords loose drivetrain.

i was just getting ready to say the same thing..... it definitly gets annoying, but you get use to it.
