Hi, how long since a tune-up? Any trouble codes? I'd still have to use a gage and check fuel pressure. Around here, some of the national brand autostores used to loan out a fuel pressure gage. With extended crank, visually check for spark at the plugs, then check fuel pressure.

My 89 Aerostar did the same thing. I replace dthe inertia switch located under the passenger side kick panel.
