Been a while since I've posted here. The expy has been cranking longer/rougher, idling rough when the engine's cold (one time it shut off), it stumbles around 2000 rpm driving in the city occasionally, and it almost dies when shifting out of overdrive on the highway.
Replaced spark plugs with motorcraft <200 miles ago, coils are excel yellow with 50k miles on them.
When the engine is warm, the issues only happen around 2000 rpm. Almost every time it stalls the green cruise control light comes on, but only while it's stalling. Get off the gas and it runs fine, cruise light goes back off.
I had to do this repair in order to bypass the non replaceable fuel pump relay in the fusebox about a year and a half ago, maybe it's relevant.
Code is P0320
Description:
Symptoms of a P0320 engine code may include: Malfunction Indicator Light On Engine cranks but will not start Misfire, Hesitation, Stumble, Lack of Power

What I've done:
- replace camshaft position sensor (no improvement)
- replace crankshaft position sensor (no improvement)
- visually inspect wires to sensors
- found loose ground on battery negative
- found loose connection to hot lead on alternator (noticeable improvement)
- tested resistance between alternator hot and battery positive
