Default Car stopped while driving, battery drained a few hours later

My car is a 2003 Ford Expedition, the other day I was driving on the freeway using the A/C, cruise control and the vehicle made a sound and then shut off, I was going approx 65MPH and when I turned off the cruise control, the breaks, power steering, etc.did not work, I let it rest a few hours and it started up, I went approx 1/2 miles and it shut down again and then I used the OBD2 and it said engine misfire, P0302 and a mechanic changed that fuse and it still wouldn't work and like the next morning, the battery was drained and it will not charge. Someone said it's the fuel pump, another said the alternator and another said it was the starter, please help!

Is this for real? This is a Porsche site. I think you might be better served by the members of this site: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/index.php

This seems to happen on IB sites, They have a real quick and dirty way to throw up posts (auth through FB or something) and people do this without reading the topic of the board they are posting to. If you browse a bit while not logged in you get an "ask a question" pop-up that posts the question into whatever forum you are looking at.

We should tell them to disable this feature or at least add something to make it harder like a dialog:
"Are you sure you want to post your question in the Porsche 944 forum?"

PO302 is the code for #2 cylinder misfire. The real problem is inside the blue oval attached to the grill...After having to deal with a 2004 Exploder for several years..don't ask me how I know..
