    . Replace the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and coil. ICMs are particularly problematic on cars of this generation.

    . Replace the spark plugs (Motorcraft) with the exact ones that originally came with the car, if they have not been changed in the last 3 years.

    I suspect the ICM is the main culprit.
