Bronco2 rough running-- need advice please

My wifes' Bronco 2 with 2.9 V6 will sit & idle smooth as silk, then all of a sudden it'll start to cough & miss, lose RPM, then just as suddenly it'll pick up again & run fine. Does the same in city & hi-way driving. I've replaced plugs, wires, cap, rotor, TPS but run out of ideas. Any thoughts ??

First check the compression,then check the vacuum.If all that is good it my be the EEC relay.Also check the computer codes that will tell you if a sensor is bad. Good luck.
