Cam position sensor would be my guess, about 160 from ford, about half that from international, easy to change, sensor on from of motor, by water pump, 2 10MM Bolts hold it on.

I got a 01 f350 that did the same thing. Cam sensor was the problem, they said. 3 weeks later it did the same thing again. Turns out there was a spot in the wireing that had rubbed through. Replaced wire harnes and cam sensor, now it run great

generally this will be a cam sensor issue, wiring and such are usually fluke things
