ok um im not to sure as i havnt had any major probs with my EL.
but i do sudject changing the plug, lead and distributor (not sure on spelling) first.
i have a little bit of mis firing goin on a while back and changing the list above fixed mine. but mine has not been re-built.
good luck mate.
any further sudjections are better left for the other more experianced members.

I had the exact same problem with el xr6, I took it to the local ford dealer and they said it might be the leads or plugs but then after about and hour of driving it went away and has been fine since, It was just dropping to about 400rpm when I came to a intersection so you have to let the clutch out really quick to stop It from stalling but yea I think it is something to do with the ecu cause I done the same thing and unplugged the battery
