i had a similar problem relating to the timing, engine would just bog down and die. I advanced the timing 5 degrees and it runs great now, lays down rubber like crazy. this may help you out, there are also a lot of other factors of course that could cause your issue.

Sounds like it has to do with the micro-chip in the key. Starts for about 3 seconds and dies. In 1999 Ford installed a micro-chip in the ignition key for Anti-theft purposes. If the chip isn't there, or is malfunctioning, the vehicle starts briefly and dies.
