4.6 Engine Miss

I need some help with my problem 1996 Cougar 4.6 engine. Ford garage has replaced fuel filter, spark plugs,spark plug wires and oxygen sensor. Car misses on hard pull.... like climbing a steep hill. I have already spent over $500.00 on the three times I have had car to Ford garage. Any help would be appreciated.
