Default Re: "studder" on acceleration

I've check the tires and differential for vibrations, also fuel filters were changed, replaced the plugs/wires and also removed the exhaust to check for reduced back pressure. Everything is fine and no codes come up.
This studdering happens in any gear, 1st/2nd/etc. and air cond on or off, also no differences in summer or winter temps/humidity.....same problem.

Anyone out there have any ideas what might be causing this?
Did you ever replace the CPS in all those miles? Ever have a hard time starting it? That a lot of miles....how is the foot throttle, still solid when you push on it...TPS ever been replaced?
