28,000 miles in less than a year...man you do some miles. Anyway you need to be systematic. Check the fuel pressure and see if it up to snuf. I don't know about the 4.6's but my 5.0 is between 25 and 40, idle to WOT. Try to have the gauge on it especially when it is running rough. If fuel seems ok then I would go to ignition. You have independent coils and since you totally died out it I doubt it would be one coil doing that and the chances that more than one are bad is not likely. I also don't know how the 4.6 is fired...it could be a crank trigger of some sort...that could be bad but I would think that would kick code. If it is a simple electrical problem it is likely that it didn't set a code also. The other thing is to have the codes checked again or check them yourself...there may be a stored code now that the rough running is also occuring. Not all codes turn on the engine light so you can't go be that. Good luck.
