2001 Ford Taurus Automatic

im due for a tune up next week and I already had all the oil stuff done and the fuel filter replaced. I was wondering if anybody can give me a list of all of the 2001 ford taurus sensors. And I think my car has a vaccume leak? It acts like it age or older, rough idleling, doesnt like going up hill, sputters, has a problem with accelerating like it is working harder to get up-speed and I have to sometimes press down on the acceleration a bunch of times to get it to speed, and it sometimes messes up on the throttle with unexpected burts of speed sometimes when or after starting/moving the taurus. Im not sure if its the throttle or engine knock? Thx
