Fuel pump, fuel filter would the the primary suspects.
Next an ignition module that gets hot and starts to quit.
What do you find when it dies? Have you checked for fuel and spark right after it quits?

1) Module overheats, engine dies. Module cools down, engine restarts almost at once.
2) Module overheats, engine dies. Module cools down, engine restarts in an hour...or so.
3) Sooner or later, usually sooner, the module overheats, BURNS OUT. Now the engine will not restart.
A DuraSpark module can be tested by autoparts stores...off the vehicle. Which means the little charmer is usually cold...so will test OK, unless it has burned out.
DuraSpark modules were sooo troublesome, Ford techs refered to them as Never/Spark!
