iSm, I get what you're saying, I really do (and the same tact was used in an attempt to break quite a few of the Civil Rights boycotts). Though I don't really think you'd have a winner if persued on those grounds.

For one, we have an idea of what Ford told Jaguar/Land Rover but do we have any idea what was said in the meeting between AFA and the Ford executives?

Do we have any evidence that AFA ever requested this specific economic interference? Perhaps all that was said was "We're disturbed by your promotion of the gay agenda and unless we feel you change your ways we will encourage our members to stop buying Ford products." And the response was "ok, we'll try to think of something that will make you happy but you have to call off the boycott first."

Was there still any specific intereference?

Again, if this were criminalized, it would mean that a popular tool of progressive ideas would be criminalized. All those students who staged sit ins until their university agreed to boycott companies operating in South Africa were engaging in economic interference.
