Default massive probs with my stang

ok im ganna give you a detail of whats going on here,

i have a 95 gt 5.0 auto has 88tho on it and i have replaced the distibutur cap and rotor,belt, starter,altinator, battery sicne i had it spent about 300 in tows which i got back about 80% of it BACK.

well first off the car random shuts off like if im driving ill cut off for like 1-2 secs and turn again if im going over `15 mph other times the car will be roilling at the parking lot of a mall store,ex. and die there and wont start up for like 10min-1hr this happen about 15 times in two months,

so i need your opinon on what you think is wrong. and also i started the car to day and it sounds like its misfireing so i know for one needs new spark plugs

remove your TFI module from under the intake tube, and bring it to your local auto parts store and have it tested

IF it is bad, replace it with a OEM ford TFI module

yep check the TFI first like the others said. its only like a $45 part if its bad. you can test it yourself with a multimeter. here is how http://351winsor.com/joel/Ignition_Systems/tfi2.html

check your grounds too, this is often overlooked and results in components cooked.
