Missing while accelerating

I have started to notice what feels like the engine is missing when accelerating.
Still seems to idle ok and smooth when holding a steady speed. Most noticable at low speed like when starting out. No codes. Oil changed about 1000 miles ago. Fuel filter about 4000 miles ago. Should I try CPS? Suggestions please on how to track this problem down. SCMT has been removed and set back to stock.

Could this be driveline vibration? How do you check?

Thumbs up

Thanks for the help. The suggestion of ICP was right on. I unplugged the connector and I couldn't re-create the "missing" feeling. New ICP installed this morning.
