It seems the battery is slightly low but had it running earlier in the day with cold temps in the single digits to about 13 degrees.ran fine then and about 6 hrs later it would not start,i had half tank of gas with a bottle of heet for anti-freezing.it cranks but will not kick over ,so i stopped due to noticing the battery lowering. could it just be the battery?
I'd guess bad battery cell. It'll take a charge but won't hold it. I'd take the battery to the auto store to check.
A weak battery will not spin the engine fast enough to start it. Replace the battery and make sure that all of the connections are clean and tight especially in cold weather.

start checking you fuel pressure first and refer to the specs either that or spark.

You are right.Its the key code problem.
As per the manual it says:--- sometimes when the battery is disconnected or has to be recharged - this happens. The computer forgets the key code and the key has to be re-coded. The ford service center/dealer charge $35 to $50 for recoding the key and this makes the car to function properly and it starts .

Also check the code in your car:--- under the plastic-passenger side under the very back window-next to rear passenger door jam-Looks like a black box. The Original Code is on a tag on that box.But if its not there then dealer is other option/.It takes few minutes to get recoded.----------------This should help.Thanks.Helpmech.
