check the easiest thing first. how is your battery and connection?
If the battery is low or the connection is bad then the only current you are getting is from the alternator when you are on the gas. If that is not it then go on to looking at vaccuum hoses and such.

I have a Mercury also. Mine has the same problem. My mechanic said that it will cost $400 to fix IF he can get a throttle body for it (where the vacuum leak is located). Slap the accelerator once or twice (maybe thrice) when it does that. Vacuum leaks and cheesy gaskets seem to be the bane of Ford products. God bless your efforts in finding the problem.

It's a hose somewhere. Have the hoses checked under the hood. It sounds like it's losing vaccuum.
It could also be clogged injectors.

Could be one of the above, but should be checked for vapor lock.
