It's an 01 4.6, surges in drive a little,and most of the time when you want to take a little faster it takes a little for it to respond what could it be??

kinda sounds like it could ge your tps (trottle positioning sensor)

do a search on here and you'll find a bunch of info on them and how to adjust or replace them...I just did mine last weekend.

Sounds like your Idle Air Control Valve (IAC) needs to be cleaned or replaced.
