hmm

that says(suggests) fuel starvation

check all fuel filters !

say you had a tiny little piece of junk blocking

your low speed jet in your carb but only halfway

that could do it.... also determine if this happens
when your fuel tank is half / full only,,,
as this happen's to my wifes car... which is the pick up
tube inside her tank....
or
try slipping it into neutral when ya come up to a stop
ok , then use both feet to experiment
left on brake and idle it up faster with your right foot
to keep it running at a higher RPM

thats the gas side of it...
on the electrical side

battery issues are a possibility ...have the mechanic check your charging system out too
or....
try drying your distributor cap with a hand held hair dryer...

an old truck of mind required that to run good when it was rainy

another thought

make sure there isn't a mouse nest inside your air filter
you'd be surprised how fast they can build one
in a warm engine ....

If it is wet, get a small spray bottle and sptiz distributor cap & wires - see if that makes a difference. We've had a lot of moisture lately.

Go to f150online.com and http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/index.php and check the forums - pretty helpful people.
