Default Rough idle and hestitation

This is on a 99 V6. The car will ocassionally run rough during idle and have some hesitation on accelerating from a stop. Sparks, wires, and timing are good. Any idea?

yes it has it ...it's the Throttle Positioning Sensor ...It can be monitored for smooth voltage with a voltmeter , since yours happens when it's hot I doubt thats your problem ...

Is it crank angle sensor season again, already?
There's a magnet on the crank angle sensor and as we all know, a magnets field weakens when heated.
Checking the distributor rotor and cap is a good idea too BlackVenge.
