Most likely the lock up converter inside the torque converter is getting stuck on.
They're not too terribly expensive, the problem is the labor because the transmission has to be pulled out to replace it.
Is it a instant hard stall as soon as you shift? If so that is probably it, if it slowly dies when you shift it more likely some engine management issue (idle air control?)
I'd clean the throttle body and idle air controller (IAC) first. a failing IAC could stall the engine when at idle (or when shifting, turning..)
you might need a new throttle body assembly, either the sensor and/or motor is bad. I believe you have the electronic actuator version. not sure if you could buy the motor or the sensor by itself.Offering this only to share the experience. My original problem remains unsolved: P2106 "TAC Forced Reduced Power" (TAC = Throttle Actuator Control). imp

You may be a lifesaver! I've got the laptop, but lack the computer expertise to understand completely. My Bosch scanner has a cord and and USB connection. The user directions encompass nearly 100 pages of text. So, at this point, I still don't know whether I can communicate with my ECUs, whether ABS, PCM, or others.there's TSB (other ford models) for this and it involves the dealership reprogramming the PCM. this might be your last course of action..

for $30 and a laptop you could get ForScan that will almost beat that expensive Bosch scanner.
