apart from making sure the oils fine have the battery tested is it a genuine ford silver calcium lead/calcium battery or is it a lead acid battery you can only uise silver calcium lead acid batteries fry and fail which is a possibility its hard to diagnose mate youre best doing the dash trick and see if any codes were stored on the dash but a diagnostic is what you need

sounds to me like an ignition coil failure.
