Is there a trouble code in the memory? and when it stalls, but won't restart, do you lose spark? or fuel? The fuel pressure can be checked, the spark can be verified manually, and whose parts are on there? does it still have Motorcraft parts? Or have aftermarket parts been substituted? and was there a recall on your fuel regulator? You can tell your vin to the dealer and ask if there was. just want to eliminate that for safety's sake.
