Have a 1996 mustang gt 4.6 liter sohc check engine light putting out p1443 code car hesitates off acceleration and has a whistle sound coming from the engine and when my cars only in drive it shakes bad. When I take off the car studders really bad until it shifts in about 3rd gear I just replaces the spark plugs kinda made it better I replaces only one coil cause it went bad when I'm at a dead stop in drive the car shakes bad but goes away when I accelerate? Thats it so far

That's just an emmisions code. Try plug wires next, sounds like you're losing a cylinder.

That code could be the purge canister line loose or cracked that is a line that runs a return to the fuel tank. The shaking couild be lack of fuel. There is a place to start. Good luck
