1. I would replace the fuel filter, if it has not been changed within the past 30,000 miles.

2. Assuming your spark plugs are in good shape, I would focus on your igniter. O'Reilly Auto Parts and Autozone will test them for free.

1. Replace fuel filter, if it hasn't been changed in 30,000 miles.
2. Replace spark plugs, if they haven't been changed lately. Replace Motorcraft platinum plugs every 50,000 miles, not 100,000 miles as suggested. Only use Motorcraft spark plugs.
3. Test/replace igniter and coil.
