Sounds like a bad pump...Just replaced one in a explorer doing the same thing...One more question have you replaced the fuel filter,now beleive it or not this sometimes can be the reason for a "quirkey" fuel pump..

hmm.... this is why i hate dealing with older cars. dont get me wrong, i love my car! but when they're new, you start with a fresh slate.

it's been my experience over the years that they either work or they don't. Mostly gm's have the highest failure rate like whoa!!! The ratio between gm and ford is like 10 gm to 1 ford.
There was a weird one I ran into but again on a gm. Classic symptom. Pump failure. Repalce the pump, sent the car out everything great. Came back a few weeks later same thing. Drooped the tank to have a look and found a loose connection in the harness where it goes through the outside of the tank unit to the inside. Ended up having to rplace that as well cuz it was not a servicable part.
Long story short, although never seen it on a ford, doesn't mean it couldn't happen. Remeber, heat expands, if there is a bad connection, there will be better conductivity when it's cold ( metal shrinks)than when it's warm (metal expands).
