I would really have to say TFI module. Might have been the hard start problem you originally had. These things will go down in Fords history book as being the biggest problem Ford ever had. Dont even need to pull it off of the car. Take a small flat head screwdriver and pry open the cover. You will see a small printed circuit board in there covered in a gooey type substance. Look for burn traces on the circuit board. In sign of a trace on the board that is burnt its time for a new one. The TFI is first in the system. It gets power from the ECU and sends the signal to the ECU and comes back out. The ECU only modifies or delays the signal to adjust timing. I sat at the stoplights one time cranking forever nver got it fired but did witness a saturn that went around me turned into traffic and got nailed by an oncoming truck. OOPS. Hope this helps. Good luck.
