When you mean sputters like loud poping noise? Could be numerous things. Could have a vacuum leak. Have you checked to see if it running lean or rich? That is what I could think of. something may be wrong with the main comp by when you say it goes away after you take the battery cable off like it resets it.

could also be your fuel pump going out. You can always check the pressure to see if it is up to spec although on newer 4.6's without the test valve it is harder to do. But this has happened before and a weak pump will not be able to deliver the volume you need at higher speeds.

I agree the fuel pump could also be the scource of the problem.

try switching out your mass air with your stock one. ive heard and upgraded mass air can make your car run rich.....and they are usually only for people with a supercharger application.

upgraded mass airs usually require a tune too - might sound a bit stupid, but when's the last time you changed your fuel filteR?
