Hello I'm Rick from just answer sorry to hear about your fusion problems as I know how frustrating this can be, If you see a phone call request you may choose to ignore that...have you had your [alternator](/topics-alternator-ford/) checked to see if it is charging?

It's hard to say honestly I'm not sure you can band-aid this sort of problem being it is a pcm controlled car, it sounds like your probably having alternator issues which would cause the car to drop to a lower output voltage and make it run bad, a scan tool for codes and checking the battery and alternator for proper voltage would be highly advised ..
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.
