Default sputtering while accelerating, 2001 Mustang V6

well i have a 2001 v-6, when ever i try to go up hills it sputters and hesitates to go, even crusing at 65-70 in 5th, when i step on it, it does it too. ive changed the plugs, wires fuel filter, air filter, added seafoam to everything. and it still does it. any suggestions? just some info incase its important. i put on a mac dual exhaust with h-pipe and a cold air intake.

Have you had it tuned since adding the CAI? It may be running too lean under a load.

We don't need tunes for adding a CAI like the '05+ cars. But we do need to disconnect the battery to reset the system.

I will agree with guitarstar. MAF sensor........

ok just cleaned the maf and still the same. disconnected it completly and ran absolutly the same. but i got trouble codes, 102(volume curcit low input) and 113(intake air temp curcit high input). the codes only show when disconnected. could the maf be bad but still being picked up by the car so no codes are popping when pluged in, or is it good and something else is wrong.
