97 F-150 Missing slightly

I am experiencing a problem that to me feels like a miss when stopped, truck in gear, at lights or even while in Park sitting idle. The truck does not appear to miss while drivinf but mainly when stopped and especially with the AC on. I have had 2 different area mechanics (Not the Dealer yet) look at this and the problem still exists. They said they can not pin point the problem on their diagnostic machine? Now I did not take Mech 101 in High School (elected for Carpentry) but I would think someone might have experienced something similar with their Ford elswhere? Where to start?

Motor is the 4.6. I purchased the trucked from used dealer and it was showing 83.000 mi but don't know if dealer changed plugs but if I were a betting man I would have to say "he probably didn't". the Check Engine light has not came on while I've owned the truck. Truck now has approx 94,000 mi showing.
