Another Throttle Problem

Okay had all the symptoms that two other posts have indicated, Wrench light comes on and the car slows down to a stop. Turning off and turning back on the car it starts up and I drive it home but in a few days the problem comes back.
I went to dealer like others, and they tell me new Throttle Body and we all know that means - 1000.00 repair bill.
We also all know that this part is on back order and parts dealer si not even shipping until late february.

My concern is that some people have had this part and work done and it does not correct the problem, and another gentlemen posted something about Coils on Plug(COP)????

Where can I find out more about this, what does this mean? Any recomendations for how to know if this should be examined first and fixed?
I have another privately owned service shop I am thinking of taking the T-bird to and asking them to look at "COP" but what do I tell them to do? What parts are involved???

Where I can read what this is so I can tell my private garage what to do??
feel free to email directly if you want: palmsprings_shirl@yahoo.com

LASTLY - This sounds like Ford needs to issue a recall on this as it is cleary poor workmanship/mechanical failure. This is definitely a safety issue to have this on the highway and have your car just shut down. Has anyone spoken to Ford about this????

Help a gal out - PLEASE!
