i just did the intake swap on my car over the weekend, it was running great but i had a small coolant leek so i removed it again to fix the leak i got it all back to gather and took it for a ride now when i step on the gas in any gear it will hesatate a little then got away but as the rpm get higher it does it more, i have checked all the sensory 3 times and have no clue what it is

Check the plugs and wires. You may have gotten some coolant in in the plug wells and may be causing the problem.

Exact same situation as I had in my 99 GT. Swapped to the new Al intake, then misfire city. Got the newest PCM calibration from Ford dealer $80 and its solved. Initially it still bogged after the reflash, but computer relearned its program in a few miles and viola... fixed!

Or you can try driving it around more and see if it clears up as the PCM re-learns the fuel trim.

couple of pausable issues...ECM needs to relearn the new configuation, depending on how much you drove it... you could have got coolant on the plugs, or for that matter had some drop threw the intake.. and get into the engine.. thats always fun.. Check for leans in your vac lines.. also any gaskets leading from the Air intake to the intake manifold... after a week your recommended to go back threw and check tourqe on your manifold anyways...
