2000 se hesitation

Ok, I did a search but found nothing. It is a 2000 se auto 85k miles. Just replaced sparkplugs NGK , pcv valve, air filter, ran BG 44K, it has ses light on-code says it is running lean on both banks. I suspect a vacuum leak (hopefully not a intake manifold gasket). It has hesitated before but really bad today. Also wouldn't start so i got it jumped off and got a new battery, problem got really bad from then on. When throttle applied it acts like it is struggling and a couple seconds later it takes off. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? any help would be appriciated.

I'm going to have to say the coils. I had the same problem and it was the coils but now I'm going to change my MAF. I'm having a similar problem again just not as bad.
