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?

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.
