Crank and crank no start, then runs great! HELP!
1990 e 150 300 6cyl.78,000 mi Will crank but won't start. This started over the last two weeks about 6 times. Will crank and crank no start, let sit 5 minutes and starts with no problem, not flooded and no black smoke runs great. Starting to get concerned as it is happening more and more, died today in traffic. Pulled to the side waited 5 minutes and started no problem. Usually catches right away however it is becoming harder (cranking more) to start. What should I look for first?

I place my bet on the Fuel Pump/sensor.
We went through the very same thing a couple of weeks ago with my husband's 83 E150 EFI/302 Had to replace it after it died several times while in town. The constant cranking over was the first symptom.
However, you might want to look at the starter/solenoid too.

Hey I got it! You guys give just enough help to give me the confidence to look at what may be it to solve the problem. The lead for the fuel pump had a bad conection at the starter solenoid. Seems to run great! I have been putting off that gas smell which I think is the rear tank and the front tank drips some gas when I use it so one at a time and see what happens. Thanks Again Vikingbabe and Mustang 5.0.
