Taurus 3.0L V6

my ford taurus is sputtering all the time. it used to do it at high speeds only (75-80) or when you pressed the accelerator really hard (e. g. when passing or getting on the interstate). now its doing it during normal speeds, anywhere from 35-65 can make it sputter... its not predictable. i've been told that its a vacuum problem or possible the maf sensor... any ideas?

My 2003 Ford Taurus SES is just sputtering around and all. Can't get any acceleration only can do 20-30 mph. Had ignition coil, tune-up and sensor changed. Went to Pep boys and they said take it to Ford. I can't afford any more money on this car. Money I don't have in the first place.
