Hello,
This could be a problem with your vehicle's Ignition Control Module (ICM), This module gets a signal from the Crankshaft Position Sensor about where the engine is in its cycle and then produces a Profile Ignition Pick up (PIP), which is sent to the Power-train Control Module (PCM) AKA, "computer". The PCM then sends a Spark Output (SPOUT) back to the ICM which it uses to fire the appropriate spark plug via the spark plug wire. It also sends a signal back to the PCM which is used for the vehicle's tachometer.
When the ICM or its corresponding electrical connectors or wiring goes bad it will cause intermittent faults, rough running, stalling, and long crank, hard start situations. I have included in the diagrams below a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) from Ford that might be of interest to you as well as the component location of the ICM. Please check the ICM and get back to us with what you find out.
Thanks,
Alex
