Take it someplace and have someone that knows what they are doing look at it for you. Maybe even leave it so they can take it for a drive. Talk to them, tell them in detail what has changed on the car since it last ran well. Describe how it is running in detail to them.

1st things first MAKE SURE YOUR PLUG WIRES ARE ON CORRECT! you might have 2 wires crossed making it hesitate and run rich and such. Another thing you could possibly do is dissconect your battery and leave it sit for a hour or so then hook it back up that should reset your computer.

There is your problem....You should always have a code output....code 11 (system pass) at least. From the symptoms you describe and that little piece of information there, you have problems in the EEC-IV system. The problem is a "No Codes" condition......you may want to check the checklist at http://fordfuelinjection.com/index.php?p=44
