My 2002 SS has been giving me a fit also. I've changed two coils, two O2 sensors, & the plugs and wires. I got the codes to go away and now the car starts and runs fine. But when I cut the engine off and restart it it has a hesitation or stumble when I step on the gas ( this happens when car is hot on restarts, not on a cold start ). Let me know what you find.

ive replaced the o2 sensors too but mine does it all the time. it does it from a cold start, a restart and going down the road. if i jump on the gas it will stop for a minute but then will start to act up again.

Im having the same issue with my T/A. I thought it might be a bad ground connection so i checked the ground on the coil and connector, no go, then i swapped coils, nothing, now on a note everytime i do something it goes away then comes back. it doesnt throw the ses light, but it does show on my scan tool, i clear it and it comes back. I think it might be a corroded connection.
