Sounds like a vacuum leak, check the vacuum lines, the intake tubing between the MAF and the throttle body, and the upper-to-lower intake gasket.

I also had a problem not too long ago with the same symptom, and it turned out to be a dirty MAF wire. You need a special cleaner for that.

Change the fuel filter first and do a full tune up

+1 for cleaning the maf first. It is very easy to do and you don't need to get under the car. Buy some electrical contact cleaner at a local hardware store. Carefully clean the small wires with the cleaner and a few q-tips. You will probably be suprised how much better the stang will run after cleaning it.
