Also stalls whenever it rains
I have had very similar issues. Drives fine one moment, but when trying to accelerate, go uphill anything which requires extra power from the engine it sputters, coughs, and has issues. Issue was a defective ignition coil. In some cases coils can be bad and not be apparent right away or only under certain conditions.
Repair wise it isn't to terrible to deal with. Remove, the wipers and the cowl/deck plate just under the windshield and it's pretty basic. Just make sure you put the plug wires back in the correct order. Although this may sound like a daunting task, it's really not.
Thanks

My 2004 did same thing, along with shutting down. Turned out, the cowl was letting rainwater drip directly onto PCM. Ford has a Technical Service Bulletin out on this. They knew the design is defective. Drip guard rerouted, PCM replaced, at our expense.
My 2003 mountaineer has a sputter on the fwy when I give it gas. I know it's not the coils changed those out and the plugs too. I think it might be a bad fuel pump or a clogged fuel filter or just a dirty fuel filter . Any ideas ? Thx

If the sputter got real bad, I could smell what smelled like weed eater gas inside the cabin. As you could also imagine, there is a loss of power.
