Well Doug, first off, I doubt anyone one this list has more miles than you 
on a '00 ST.  But my guess would be something to do with fuel pick up.  
Either a clogged fuel filter/pinched hose, or worse case a sticking intake 
valve.  The fact that it is intermittent is both good and bad.  Good in that 
it should be fixable w/o major engine rebuild, bad in that it is harder to 
diagnose.  I would start with fuel delivery and work into the internals 
after that.
