My 05 is in for the same issues now. My mechanic tells me that there is a serv. bul. out regarding this issue. There are plugs initially installed that have (or either build up) excessive resistance and that works problems back to the coils and control module. My Escape just died out on the expressway as I gave it a tap on the accelerator- I thought I blew a belt. It started up rough and I was able to limp to work. Coded it out and coils a-f were coming up bad. Cleared that out and just the d coil continues to come up. Took it to my neighbor's shop and its in for a while. He changed the plugs to no avail, and a couple of coils with the same result. He tells me I could be in for a $1k bill if it goes all the way back to the control module. Gotta have it so I gotta do it.
Any chance Ford will help out here? Stop that giggling!
