Would the car start right back up or would it have to sit for a while before it would start back up, also would it stall when engine was hott/cold or either, and when the air temp was hot/cold with high/low humidity?

Well I just fixed a similar problem with my car... I would be driving it and put the clutch in and PLOP it would stall out and wouldnt restart; then it would have to sit for 25-40 min to restart. I thought it was the fuel pump at first and put a new one of those in and it didnt fix it... Just friday me and a buddy poped a new Pickup coil/Stator assembly and ignition coil in it and havent had a problem since. Another member on here tryed to convince me that it was the Pickup coil before I bought my fuel pump but I didnt listen.

If it takes a while to start back up Im almost certain its the stator assembly and ignition coil BOTH parts cost about 17 bucks each at Advanced Auto and about 1-2 hours to install. The ignition coil is just a pop out and pop in, but the stator requires you to pull the dizzy, dissasemble it and re-assemble it... If you want me to walk you through it ill give you a runthrough...

It's easy man...just onbolt the bolt holding the dizzy in place and it lifts right out. You'll have to take it to a ford dealer to get the gear pressed off the dizzy to replace the stator pick up.
