Saturday, I installed new FORD platinum plugs (suggested by FORD as replacement for originals), they cost me about $4 each but list for about $10 each!
We reamed the EGR port with a coat hanger to break any carbon build-up out and used "Professional Engine Spray Flush" in that port. It seamed to be quite clean but the xtra cleaning won't hurt.
Then cleaned the Throttle Body intake area...It was marginally dirty.
No more hesitation / Stumbling so far after about 5 miles. We'll see...Thanks to you guys for the hints about what was up.

Hear we go with another guy going for FORD Plugs...God Speed all.
