When I got my car back from the engine swap (^#$% Injen CAI + huge downpour on poorly drained streets), the shop had put a spark plug that had a broken insulator on the electrode. Myself and the shop assumed it was bad gas from sitting for almost 2 months. Only if you held the sparkplug upside down would you see the insulator slide down, otherwise, it looked pretty normal. Ran intermittently rough with that problem. They also didn't align the shifter plate, so 1-4 worked great (all you'd really hit on the test-drive) but you couldn't find 5 or 6. I fixed these problems myself in short order, and was asked if I wanted a job... they were definitely low on techs for the amount of business they had.

 

Check the TB and let us know!

 

I agree there must be something wrong with your transmission or motor, I have an 06 5at And first through third have gobs and gobs of torque compared to almost any other v6 out there. my wife is scared to floor it. ;-)
