check the plugs for carbon tracking along the insulators. I had the same problem with my 99 4.6. I put ford's WDS scan tool on it and did a cylinder balance test. I found it dropping 2 cyls. (1&3 on mine but they may differ) on accel. But I also have plug wires. If i'm not mistaken, ford started using individual coils for 2000. Either way, check that out, Depending on you mileage, plugs would probably be a good idea anyway. If there is tracking, replace your wires, or the coils on the problem cylinders
