Default misfire under heavy load. no MIL

02 gt 4.6 2v 5spd, when ever the engine is under heavy load at low rpm I get a misfire feeling out of it (heavy shaking, loss of power) i.e. coming out of a stop sign in low 2nd, or in 5th at anything below 70mph, once the rpms come up Its fine (over 3k rpm), i have no mil at all no matter how much it shakes, not even a pending code. not sure how to figure out what the problem is. thanks in advance

Ignition coils are probably getting weak.

Good be plugs, cops, fuel injectors, fuel filter, etc... Google it. Lots of people get this on these 2v 4.6L's. Pretty common. Never a one solution fixes all though.
