If you check the fuel pressure, you can possibly narrow down if it's a fuel issue or not.

Oh man, I didn't want to hear this.

 

My 03 is doing the same thing. It's not misfiring - fuel is fine and the transmission shifts smooth as glass.  But when it's in overdrive, going up an incline (even slight) it will skip.  Downshift and it's fine.  I'm tracking things down to a trans issue, but everyone else is urging me to replace all of the coils, plugs and wires.

 

I don't think that's the issue. I have no CEL whatsoever.
