'01 F150 trouble starting
Just sold the car to my son 3 weeks ago, I NEVER had a problem with it. He's put maybe 300 miles on it. Truck has 103k miles and is a 5.4 liter. Now there's difficulty starting it; it turns over and over roughly and shakes but no start. Usually keep at for 5 seconds at a time, after 5-10 minutes of this b/s it fires right up. Runs great once it fires. I believe it only happens when the truck has been started already, never from a cold start.
Where would you start? TIA |

Thanks Keith, too much or too little pressure? I'm making an appointment to have it serviced, I'm not messing with fuel injected systems, not my thing. It started just fine from a cold start at 7am yesterday, sure enough, he called me at 2.30 pm after school and it acted up again-had to crank on it for awhile before it turned over. Never sell a car to someone you know!

How about that!!!! Usually what happens is the fuel filter is not serviced & it gets plugged. The pump goes fast right after. Hope it didnt set ya back too much!

$700 smacks, went with the new Ford pump rather than the "surgery" to repair. Want it to be as reliable as possible for my son.
Good call Keith! |
