ok... i am having a problem with my engine bogging. it does it when a) i'm at cruising speed for the gear im in and i press on the gas even a little bit to accelerate. or b) during a launch at the begining and end of each gear. it feels like either the engine isn't getting gas or spark... either way the cylinders definately stop firing. my tach drops right off. i've just replaced the fuel pump and sparkplugs. some one suggested my injectors but i would have thought that it would be occuring more often than this. please let me know if you've had any experiance with this or have any thoughts on it. btw the engine to the best of my knowledge is completely stock.
thanks :)

First thing you will want to do is check your codes too see what story the car can tell you. Check the link in my sig to learn how to get them. When you replaced the plugs were they motocraft? Any oil in the plug wells? You may have a failing cam or crank sensor the codes should tell you.

TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) or IAB (Idle Air Bypass).

Check the voltage on the first, clean the second.
