Check fuel pressure. Could be as simple as a fuel filter.

yea except its the icm(ignition control module). with dual plugs the icm goes bad sometimes and it wont fire the secondary plugs on 2 cylinders. same thing happened to me. with the same exact problems.

it should be on the drivers side of the engine just behind the alternator. it's a gray box about six or seven inches long and about a half inch thick. as far as cleaning goes i don't think you can do that as it is a sealed unit? the easiest way to see if it's out is to get it read or go to your local O'reillys and borrow one of their readers. the icm costs about $40 when i had to buy one in the summer.

Its the ICM.

Ignition Control Module.

If you find one for $40 bucks, jump on it. itll probably be a aftermarket. the motorcraft is like $175 i think =/

its an electrical piece theres no cleaning it. unless you wanna throw it in the wash and see if it fixes it.(sorry its monday)
