Engine Statup

[fordkq]

Hi-

Today my ford was giving problems in start up, when i put up the key , the sync system was blinking and eventually went out completely. I tried many times, was not successful in starting the engine. Afterward i tried to put the neutral gear and pumped up the gas and the ignition worked.

Not sure why this happened ? And how i can avoid this in future specially if it does not start up even in Neutral ? Any feedback what went wrong?

First doubt comes to battery, and second goes to spark plugs/self. When was the last service you have got it done, hope its not overdue?
