OK I'm late to the party. I had a similar problem on my old Escort EXP. After months of jumping it and parking on hills to roll start it (manual trans) I found that it was a short in my dimmer switch on the column. I was an intermittent short so didn't show up all the time. But if it sat for a couple days it would be down to 7volts or so. When I would drive it to work every day it would work fine. But after it sat all weekend it wouldn't start. Finally one day I couldn't get it to work. Swapped switch ring thing and never done it again. I was not smart enough back then to check for a parasitic draw. But swapping the headlight dimmer fixed both issues. Just some food for thought.
