Hesitating/Surging at 3000RPM???? Help someone.

Well after my car starting stumbling one day (anytime throttle was pressed down more than 1/8th of the way) i replaced the PCV valve, fuel filter, spark plugs are only a year old, and replaced 2 ignition coils. Now the car doesnt stumble as much, but at about 3000RPM when accelerating maybe 1/3-1/2 throttle, it starts to surge sorta. But its not nearly as bad as the missing i had at idle (sometimes) and when accelerating anymore than 1/8th. Im completely stumped, and any help would do. Sorry for the long post.

Cheers.
Josh

check your wiring harness.....my car was doing that for 2 years and i spent 600 bucks in replacing stuff to find it out was a broken maf ground wire in the harness coming from the firewall.....if you move the harness around with the engine running and the car stumbles then you know its the harness
