If it's running perfect then just stops and ignition lights etc are missing when trying for restart, sounds like a immobiliser problem, faint possibility it could be a duff contact in ignition barrel but not normaly on a sierra, focus mondy yes.

As said about immobiliser but to add when it cuts out does the immobiliser LED flash indicating it's armed itself.

Sounds like the relay they used for the main ignition cut is getting too hot and loosing contact. Either that or the ignition live supply wire has either a bad joint or has become disconnected.
