Default engine hunting ..help

Hi guys

4.2 D3 LWB under steady load the engine seems to hunt and the revs fluctuate from say 2k to 3k and so on and so forth

Any ideas ? I have had a look for vacuum leaks in case ..

Its had all new coil packs and all new plugs .. but it is still doing it .. if I foot to the floor go for it its fine but under a gentile load it dose .. and this is making it very un-smooth

any help or ideas would be great !!!

Sounds more like a transmission issue then engine.

Sounds a little bit like what I'm having to deal with at the moment.

Does the gear effect the hunting?
