Juddering when slowing down and on light acceleration also uphill underlight load

Hi All. Im new to this Forum and not sure if anyone can help.

I have a 2012 Lincoln MKX FWD. I have a "getting worse" juddering under light acceleration, when going uphill and when coming off the gas.

I thought this was transmission so have changed fluid twice. Nothing changes

Ive replaced spark plugs, air filter, cleaned MAF sensor.

It feels like the car is misfiring, so I suspected fuel filter, possible fuel starvation, but I cannot locate a fuel filter? Is it in the tank?

 

I have no EML codes just this juddering and I think a lack of power and response when I accelerate.

 

Does anyone have any ideas?

Is there a fuel filter?

 

Many thanks

Any misfiring due to coils or faulty  Injectors would set a code. Possibly a partly clogged injector not spraying properly? Strange that you're getting a misfire (fuel or electrical) and not setting a code.

 

Does it feel like it's slipping or misfiring?

 

How many miles on your plugs?
