So i went to a ball game last night and afterwards i decided to go for a drive so i went down I70 form KC to Columbia, MO. I set the cruise on 70mph and just went on my way. Every so often the car would hiccup like it was miss witht the ac on. I turn it off and it would stop. Now i think i need a torque mount, maybe tht its? I mite also pull the plugs and check brand and gap. What do u guys think?
Hiccup with ac and cruise on. 07 ford fusion

Check the EGR sensor called the DPFE. If it has one these are a common problem with the symptoms you describe. It causes the engine to have too much EGR and will cause stumbling when additional load it put on the engine by the compressor.
Took out the plugs and it has crappy bosh platinum in it.

Yes on a typical 4 cylinder car with "bang-bang" control of the compressor, you will feel it starting if you're paying enough attention.

I have a 2008 doing the same thing. How exactly do you check the dpfe?

The DPFE might be part of your EGR valve or might be separate but here is a good video on testing it.
