Check the plugs for whats called corona ringing this is a deposite that can affect the performance of the plug, in the zetec head there is some hexagonal core plugs in the head which leak and allow oil in to the area where the plugs are sat this atomizes and gets an electrical charge, take the plug out and check them on the insulator if thats discoloured you can clean them and the leads with traffic film remover and then dry them

What good is Car Wax?

Had an fiesta xr2 with a zetec engine that would cut out on junctions, not all the time but enough to be annoying, it was under warranty so they did all the things suggested on this page but no joy, so tried the owners club who said that the zetec engine was prone to sticking valves due to cheap mineral oil , so I used an engine flush and filled up on a good quality fully synthetic oil and the problem was solved, could be worth doing to eliminate this possibility.

It depends if it wont idle at all or cuts out some of the time, if it is doing it all the time I would say yes take it to a garage as most causes are quick and easy to find and fix, and any decent garage should be able to tell you what the problem is straight away, hope this helps a bit.

It's not unusual for the zetec engine to suffer from sticky valves. Get it to a garage for them to check compressions.
