I also would replace the coil and plug. I've had 2 expies and coils are a problem. Note: the NAPA gold coils are very good and 1/2 the price of the ford ones.Thank you. I don’t have a timing light but I’d probably just replace coil and plug after going to all the trouble to get at it. I’ve only had it less than a year so I have never replaced coils or plugs. It appears to have been well taken care of, so maybe they have been replaced before.
I will check the things you mentioned around the shifter this weekend.
Thanks again and I’ll keep you posted.

Wow..... it’s probably #8 but that needs to be checked first. You may not have one but I have an old timing light I use to verify a miss on the plugs, plug wires or coils. The timing light won’t tell you which of the three it is but nowadays people replace the coil and plug at the same time. Have you done that lately? If you have to bump the shifter that to me indicates something is not quite right. I would check the plug-in below the shifter that sends info to the trans also, if in fact the Nav has the plug. While you’re there also check for tightness and condition of the wiring from the shifter. These things I do know and am sure someone else who has more knowledge will chime in soon. Let us know what you find....
But very very few of you out there. I know a guy or two that owns their own shop that are super busy and they are like me, they don't have time to do extra stuff they just fix it up as good as they can as quickly as possible and send it on its way. When you take care of the customer like that for a fair price you know there will be back the next time something breaks. You don't have to put $800 into the brake system right now perhaps they won't be back for for 5 years. You can throw some brake pads and a rotor on and get them by for a year-and-a-half and they're totally happy with that.Fix what it needs and ship it. Yes I am an honest mechanic. We ARE out there. 30 years and i'm tired of polishing turds. Polish all you want; it still smells like a turd.
