'99 with slight hesitation

I have a '99 Max with 47000 miles. I have recently felt a slight hesitation during acceleration and also while holding pedal steady.
The ECU light records no fault codes (thought it might be knock sensor, but NO). Was planning to change spark plugs even though they're rated for 60K. Any other ideas?

Clean your throttle body - www.motorvate.ca has a nice how to write up.
Change your fuel filter as well.

Maybe one of your coil packs is starting to go bad

Funny you should mention the coil packs, I replaced all 6 1K miles ago.
I changed the air filter (it was filthy) and it helped. I'll look into the throttle body and fuel filter.
Thanks!

Dang, I just changed my fuel filter after 100k and the old one looked like new. No dirt inside and no water. Must be the fact I only buy gas from the cheapest place within 10 miles of home.

I would be willing to bet it is one of the coil packs. The same thing happened to my friend's 99. Check them all out again, because you might have hooked one up wrong, or not plugged the sensor in correctly.
