    Thanks to all for your responses. Tiggie, I was confused because I always think my position in front of the engine, since it is the "thing" that cause my headache in this moment... But I understand what all you mean, I learn today another info with you: the numbers of the spark plugs!, I´m trying to see the positive side.

    At least I know is the correct spark plug. Will continue my attemp to fix it this week, it´s been rainy here and the car is outside.

      #1 is under the AC compressor. #5 is behind the alternator.

        Hello guys!

        Finally, with the help of a mechanic the car runs again, the timing was adjusted, change spark plugs, Ignition coil and TFI (all Motorcraft). When I came back home the car runs great. I parked it out of my house, I started the engine again waiting to get the engine hot to check the gearbox oil, BUT!!!!....the car turned off again after 10 minutes! Same problem as the beginning, after that, the engine does not run again. The car was scanned and the results did not gave any problem registered.

        Any ideas what is still my problem?

          Check for spark, check for fuel. That will tell us where to start.

              I wonder if the pickup in the distributor could be an issue.

                if you have spark and proper fuel pressure, it would run. Something isn't right.

                Try some starting fluid in the throttle body. If it starts, you have a fuel problem. Might be low pressure, but it might be a bad TPS. If the TPS fails like the throttle is open, it stops operating the injectors.

                  crap gas? water trapped in the fuel filter clogging up the works?
