Check that the coil is the correct voltage in use start/ run 12 volts or start 12 volt run 7.5 volts ( a 7.5 volt running on 12 volts= faulty ignition resistance wire == all the time will fail from over heat condition)
next feel the coil when it stops --it should be warm but not hot to the touch
next test/ replace the ignition control module
These items will loose capacity to operate if they get too hot from component failure but in cooling down will again work until they get hot again

Quite possible you have a bad ignition coil. As coil heats up it breaks down and will not return to normal till it cools down. Check for spark the next time this happens. If spark is weak or not there, it warrants testing or replacement.

Just a thought. If you have an Autozone parts store near you, they have a free code scan service. It my help to narrow down the source of the problem. If you are a more serious DIY you can go to the library and find a Mitchells or Chilton service manual it will give the the test proceedure and specs for the coil pack

Easy Fix! I know exactly what ur talking about, had the same problem for ******* ever, and its not the fuel pump, trust me!!! and it will cost you absolutely nothing to fix! I don't know what the hell they're called exactly, but on the right side of your engine there's a black box, next to where you put the coolant in, with fuses in it. They look like one inch cubes and will say Ford right on top. One of them is for the fuel pump. Try switching it with one of the others, or just switching all of them around and ur car will fire up, but the one that's not working will cause something else not to work properly, but at least u'll now what the problem is. Than just do what I did: take one with you and go to a junk yard and pull out a bunch, they're the same on many ford vehicles, even the newer ones, like 2000, not just the explorer. Make sure its the same one, pull out a bunch, put em in ur pocket and leave without paying, nobody will notice anyways, but they're tricky to find at a parts store, surprisingly. When ur car is running beatiful again, come back to this post and tell me if I was right! God knows how many ours I spent in that car stranded, waiting for it to fire up. Sometimes it'd be 5 minutes, sometimes an hour, sometimes hours, even days. Never knew when it would or wouldn't. Thought is was the starter too! If it works, tell me!!!
Testimonial: "you have helped me out so so much you were exactly right and also it happened to my sons dodge neon and it was the same solution thank you so so much "

Did you check your fuel pump to see if it is functioning right or not .
