Default $2000 spent and still not fixed!

I really need your help with my car. I have a 95 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 which is a manual. The problem I have is that when I am driving it the RPM gage all of a sudden jumps down and the car feels like it hesitates and is cutting out and sometimes stalls while driving. I have taken it to a Ford dealer who had it for two weeks and another garage who also had it for another 2 weeks and neither have found the problem!
The parts that I have replaced so far trying to fix this are a New Battery/New wires that go from battery to car/Ignition module/fuel pump,now 190LPH/distributor rotor and cap/and new spark plugs. They also ran computer tests on the car and it comes back ok at both garages but I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM!

I really need some good advise on where to look to solve this problem. My car is all stock and Ford has no clue on where to look anymore.[&:]

Thanks for any help.
Steve

put a can of seafoam cleaner in your gas tank to clean your injectors

Thanks for the help so far guys. They did not replace the coil just the rotor and cap. I just had the injectors cleaned also. I am about to take it back to the garage in a few minuites and they are going to try swapping out the whole distributor.
Thanks again for the help guys and if you think of anything else please post because I will be telling the garage all of your ideas.

Thanks, Steve

it sounds like your mass air meter is bad, I had the same problem the other day, and it turned out the hose clamp that held my air intake tube to the throttle body had come loose and disconecteted and as soon as the maf read no air it did that.
