I recently had the same problem.  After 7 1/2 weeks in 2 different
dealerships, the problem was solved.  They replaced the entire ignition
system - didn't fix it.  They replaced the injectors - didn't fix it.  They
replaced the computer, the chip, the plugs - didn't fix it.  They even hard
wired a diagnostic computer into the truck for test drives - couldn't find
the problem.  After almost $2400 in parts and labor (eaten by the first
dealership that coulcn't fix the problem) it ended up being a wastegate
adjustment.  I hadn't seen that suggestion yet on the list, so add it to the
others, as well as a possible plugged cat was another suggestion I got when
I was having this problem.
My Ty is finally running great again.  Good luck!
