Did you ever figure out what was wrong? I have an 05 Ford Focus ZX4 ST that cranks and won’t start. We have changed the battery, starter, IAC valve and alternator. It would start and I could go to work but on my way home it would stall after changing the first three things I mentioned. Then I changed the alternator and bow it just cranks and so start. All fuses are good and I’m lost.
