have u checked ht leads common on focus one way is 2 pull them out spray with wd40 start engine if one is arching it will ignight the wd and pop out if this happens replace whole set.another thing is make sure engine is filled with correct oil as wrong grade will cause valves to stick giving hard starting and low power
