If that doesn't work and there are no codes then the next step would be to have the fuel pressure checked. I don't know how many miles on your car but most electric fuel pumps start to weaken after 100,000 miles.

It's got 85k miles and is the most polarizing vehicle I've ever owned--on the one hand, it's comfortable, quiet, and fairly efficient (~22mpg with the 3.0 V6). On the other hand, the rear wheel wells and gate lip are rusting, I've had to replace parts (control arms, rear links, etc.) long before I would have expected (60k), and it appears the only way to keep tires from cupping is to rotate them every 37 miles.

It is what it is, Fords version of the "economy SUV". They are made for pumping out in volume and after 100,000 miles they are fixer uppers.

Was this vehicle ever in any accident?

Was there a vehicle alignment anywhere in this story?

No. The 37 mile thing was hyperbole, but they need to be rotated 3500 or less, which is lower than I'm used to.
