My 97 Exploder did the exact same thing and after much research I changed out the crankshaft position sensor. It was a chore finding the correct part so consider taking off the old one and matching it up. The dealer wanted $130+ for the CPS but I got one online for less than $30.

Wow... 209,000 miles. That's impressive, but I suppose not as much as it should be since it is a Ford. I have a '73 F100 with almost 175,000 that still runs great. Have you checked the distributor/ignition coil, or the starter solenoid? Just a few ideas of what it could be. Hope it helps.
