fuel pump,filter,pressure switch replaced. starter motor turns over engine no prob. new plugs, wires, distributor cap & rotor. when able to start, runs very rough for 3-5 sec, then settles and runs great! runs very well for rest of day. next morn, all over again.

could it be an electrical relay gone bad?
poss computer module problem?
a timing/ distridutor prob ?

Check the engine coolant temp sensor, it acts as the choke for your Fuel injection...also Fords are known for faulty idle air control valves, it's bolted to the throttle body.
