When driving at any speed in any gear, the car jerks and cut out like there was no fuel getting to the engine, it wouldn't stall but it would almost die, sometimes it would stall when I started it, it would do this the hotter the car got.
Which led me to two things fuel system and ignition module. I originally took it to ford and they replaced the fuel filter and said that it was fixed, but still to no avail, so now they said that they will have to take out the fuel tank and check it out? anyone had a similar problem?

Could be a number of things. spark plugs, leads, battery terminals, poor ground contacts, dirty injectors.
sounds like water in the fuel tank to me {maybe}. best way to find out is listen to the exhaust note, if you hear popping sounds & see a puff of steam from your tail pipe then its moisture. theres a product out in the market that you pour into your tank, it bonds with water & mixes it with the fuel. I think thats how it works. I'll check the above first before you part with your $$$$.

Well, I have decided not to take it back to ford, I am going to take it to another mechanic in town and get him to check it out, I haven't seen any moisture coming out of the exhaust, but I would be putting my money on something like plug leads as the problem only becomes evident when the car is hot.

did u end up fixing ur problem? it might be ur dizzy or the dizzy cap. the contacts might not actually touch all the time and so u feel it jerk becos the sparks didn't fire at times. cause it happened to my EA. during a normal drive it would just stop turning and all electrics turn off and a split second later it would start up again and back to normal......the problem was my dizzy was all stuffed up and there was poor contact causing the stalls. thats all i can say from experience other then that it might be fuel line or sparkies itself or some loose wiring.
hope that helps cheers phong =P~

I took it into a mechanic yesterday who told me that he had replaced all of the spark plugs as they were very bad, and that when he took it for a drive the check engine warning light came on.
Its gotta go back into Ford next wednesday (Free of Charge) and they are going to check out the engine management computer. I will let you all know how it goes.
