Default 98 Mustang Problem

So I was looking for some advice. I have a 98 Mustang V6 and recently I have been having a problem. Recently as I have been drving it feels like the car might be sputtering or skipping I guess. So for example if I am driving at 60 mph and I will feel the car I guess sputtering back and forth. I have recntly had my o2 sensor chnaged as well as a transmission fulsh and cleaned. I thought maybe it was an injector problem and so I tried fuel injector with a full tank of premium fuel. Not only that but I also added some dry gas into the tank to try and figure out if there was water in the tank. So far I have not seen an improvement and it seems like it still is doing this. So I was wondering if anyone else had any ideas on what I could do and what else I could check. Any help would be great. Also as a side not this car has its oil chnaged regularly and always on time. Once again any help would be great.

Thanks,

-Andrew

start cheap and work your way up with basic tune up things

clean your MAF and IAC, new fuel filter, spark plugs, coil,

Mine was having the same problem as yours. Turned out mine was a bad coil pack. I'd just go ahead and give it a full tune up, as said above, and that should take care of it. If not, then I'm not sure what to tell you.
