Ford TSB for air bubbles developing at the fuel pump after extended cruises. Mine does it from time to time. I usualy downshift a little ways before stopping to try and get them cleared out before I try to accelerate. I thought this was just on the GT. Yours is the first V6 I've heard about.

had my fuel pump replaced last month and works good now -- get it done before you get killed - like pulling out to pass after cruising for a long time and the car dies in the passing lane, it happened to me once; the dealer might not want to change it but you can convince - him - he cannot replicate it without driving it on interstate for a long time --- and if they wont do it tell them you are documenting this decision and will hold them responsible --- i did and it worked; good luck and get it fixed before the warranty expires; and it only took them 35 minutes while i waited.
