It would probably be worth spending the money on a code scanner before buying more parts that may not fix the problem. My $30 code scanner came with a book listing the meaning of each code.

Next time it happens, leave the door open, turn the ignition to on/run, and listen for the hum of the fuel pump. If the pump doesn't run, replace the relay, I think its under the driver seat

Fuel pump relay is part of the IRCM on the 91-93 model 2.3l Mustang. Without DTC's we are pissing in the wind as far as a diagnosis.

FWIW the IRCM is about $90 from Rock Auto and real easy to replace.
