rough idle and surging

I have a 96 Mustang GT that idles rough when warms up. Also i just noticed today that the engine surges and misses at the begining of each gear. All with no CEL. These things are driving me crazy and i can pin point the issue. Ive changed the IAC, ECT and sender, and EGR. Does anyone have any input or other part i may be over looking.

Coils are known to do that. When they are bad and heat up they misfire. I see it alot

Have you cleaned the throttle body?

No, but do you think it would idle rough when warm because of a dirty throttle body? I wouldnt think so , however it is on my to do list. Just fyi i bought it used and it had a CEL but i forgot to read the code before reseting the computer. The guy i bought it from said he thought the code was an O2 sensor. I woildnt think that would do this either. Needless to say i cant get the car to spit another code. I just have the issues as mentioned which are new after buying it.
