You should probably start by having the "Check Engine" code(s) read. If you check around, you should be able to find someone who will do it for under $50. If you can't, buy yourself an OBD II code reader, but make sure it will work on your specific model Ford. (on eBay they start at around $50) That should give you a good idea of where to start. Assuming there are no major problems indicated, you might want to follow that with a good, thorough tune-up, to include changing all the fluids (fresh gas, oil, Transmission Fluid, coolant, etc.)...and don't forget to check the brake system. Good luck.
