Hola from El Paso TX!
I just registered with this site. Looks good!
I am the proud original owner of a 1990 Ford F-150 XLT, 5.8L with only 107,000 miles on it!
I am wanting to find out if there is a way to do a SEARCHthrough questions instead of posting anew. From what I have seen in other web searches, my problem is not very uncommon...I just don't have an answer yet.
I will post the following in the General Tech: My truck at times has problems starting. I can leave the key in the RUN position (just short of the cranking position) and hear (what I think are) the fuel pumps buzzing. As long as there is a buzz sounding, the truck will crank nicely (strong battery) but never start. If I try cranking the engine after the buzzing has stopped, Voila! the engine starts right up.
It's almost like it loses fuel pressure or something. The weird part is that this does not always happen, it may be temperature related, I tend to think it happens more often when it is warmer, but not absolutely sure. But I have had times when it will not start after sitting for an hour, others when it will when sitting for two or three weeks. Not what I would expect from a fuel pressure leak.
TIA

You can use the Search function form the 'page top' just below the Header/Banner for theSearch tab....
