I have a 2002 gt with about 80k on it. recently I sprung a coolant leak but had it taken care of. the culprit was a cracked intake manifold, which I had replaced, although before the repair, a decent amount of fluid got into some of the spark plug holes on the driver's side of the engine, before and after the repair, the engine has been having misses under load. it runs fine if you drive it lightly, but under hard acceleration, it skips and doesn't have as much power as it should, no pops or strange noises. the worse is driving in 5th, and giving a decent amount of gas, the car will shutter forward and back.
I had all the spark plugs switched out with new motorcrafts, and changed two of the COPS (coil packs) on cylinders 5 and 6.
fyi,

Still the same skipping, could it be the injectors, fuel pump maybe? spark plug wires, (which I doubt)? please, anyone who might have experienced the same thing? any help is appreciated.
