the thing there in and a gas filter because it was clogged after that it seemed to run just fine then

Don't get angry now, that never helps anything. Deal with it only when you are not. Angry that is. It may have had a lot of sediment in the tank, and you may need yet another filter. Also put some alcohol based water remover in with at least a half a tank. I don't know if that Tempo has an OBD port but if it does, have the codes read.

Your ignition on your steering counsel could have come loose. Remove the outer part of the plastic cover on your steering column and check the connector harness that goes to the ignition. Ford made a faulty connector that has lead clamps that over time crack and break, thus causing the harness connector to vibrate loose from the ignition. I used a bungie snap cord to hold mine in place and got rid of the corner die offs..you will too.
