Its been doing this for a little while I dont know what it is. Sometimes when I am sitting at a light and go to take off it will sputter kind of like it got loaded up with fuel and it pops through the exhaust and I can kind of feel it in the car. Fresh platinum motorcraft plugs, new air and fuel filter all motorcraft. Is there anything besides coil packs it could be? I also cleaned the MAF and IAC.

i know this is an idiot question but did you make sure you gapped the plugs correctly? the popping through the exhaust sounds like fuel isnt getting burnt to me.

Right... also check each coil impedance when you remove them to check the plugs gap. If I remember well, it's like 5 ohm and 50,000 ohm. I do not have my manual at hand but you can check the numbers on a Haynes or similar. I do not think of anything besides that...

I have no codes and its still doing it. Sometimes if I stop at a light and take off it will pop a bit out the exhuast. It goes away if i really get through it but its still annoying.
