Power Delay???

I recently changed all spark plugs for 2003 FX45 with about 162,000 miles. Used auto lite platinum plugs from autozone and coated plugs with anti-seize.

Almost instantly after first drive noticed a delay in the acceleration. It's almost like it will hit a certain rev then hesitate and then all the power surges at once usually in 2nd gear.:eek.:

It doesn't happen all the time usually when the motor is warming up but after a reaching operation temp you can start to notice the delay.

My question is did I mess up with choosing autolite plugs or did I not install them properly?

For context everything else is working fine even tried doing the pedal dance for ecu reset.

Any help on where I should start would be awesome!
 
I did not have this issue with my FX but i had it with my subaru... It would almost stumble like "Hit the gas... Revs up for a split second and then nose dives... Then another split second and it takes off" Found out the Coils where getting Old... Replaced them with new decent ones and it fixed my issue... Literally 3 coils shattered in my hand when i removed them to replace plugs when i changed them out.
