HARD START
I have a 1997 ford crown victoria ( non natural gas ).
It has the 4.6L V8.
I have been having problems starting the car when it is hot, and sometimes when running for a few minutes. This problem has been occuring for a little over 2 months.
I usually have to crank 3-4 times before she will run when hot, and a couple times she will start, stall then die. But 98% I can get her to run.
She runs smooth plenty of power and no hesitation.
The vehicle is in great shape, always serviced at the dealer, it has about 118,000 miles.
Recent tune-up less than a month ago.
Spark plugs, wires, air filter, pcv valve, fuel filter, and a bottle of fuel injector cleaner.
And I had the vehicle at the dealer for the ( Cruise Control ) recall and retrofit with the new harness and they changed the ( Coolant Temperature Sensor ) less than a week ago.
And all the wiring and sensors seem to be fine.
The battery connections and vehicle grounds are clean with no corrosion.
Also there is no ( CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ) and I read the computer there is no codes.
Any advice would greatly be appreciated
Thanks.
