Hesitation but no idle issues

Hi guys,

I replaced the coil packs 6 years ago to solve something just like this but I'm confused that it might be them again already.

Car idles great, but sometimes on acceleration, especially from a stop or sub 10mph the car will hiccup, the worst time recently it felt like it missed multiple times before revving up without further issue. I was merging and giving it alot of gas. Seems to correlate with the accelerator being masged from a slowly rolling start. Being gentle seems a way around it for now...

Other known issues with the car are the mounts are in bad shape and while trying 5o do the mounts I snapped a bolt between downpipe and manifold... But if there is an exhaust leak it's minimal, and most of the time nonexistent. And the starter sometimes doesn't retract fast enough and grinds... I've been busy... No CEL or anything.

Appreciate any suggestions. I'll be pulling out my dmm to measure the coils soon just to rule them out. The plugs were done with the coils.

Misfire at acceleration usually sign of bad spark plug coil boots
What was the brand name of coils?
For starter it's time for new solenoid (which is more expensive than rebuild starter)
