I took my 5.0 to a local mechanic here in town and he told me my car loses spark when its running at regular temp. Can that happen? My car went into shop cause it would sputter and back fire out rear when at normal temp

I think you need a new mechanic. Sounds like he's guessing.

First thing i'd do is pull the codes. For an issue like that, i'd bet there's a code stored.
