There are a few threads concerning the PPRV delete. Sometimes it helps, sometimes not so much. Many of us were able to get it fixed with an adjusted tune.

Sounds EXACTLY like my problem when I had the car - spark plug blowout, check to see if they're gapped properly. When I replaced my stock Motorcrafts, they were worn and gapped around .050!! Replaced with NGK TR6 @ .034 and problem solved.

pprv more likely if it hesitates big time between fast high rpms shifts not what he's describing. Is it hesitating or really bucking ?

did you make any changes to your coolant system ?

Well, changed the plugs, fuel filter, and had the car dyno tuned and the problem is still there. Car runs great at normal driving gut when I go to wot it still sputters and jerks. I'm about to pull the rest of my hair out!
