98 4.2 hard start to no start

I have a F150-4.2v6 that has been hard to start. turn over a lot befor starting. now it wont start at all. no codes (checked with scan tool), 40 psi fuel, new air filter, plugs, fuel filter. I am thinking it may be injectors. any sugestions how to go forward. thanks in advance.

Pull the spark plugs, if the porclin in the center is white or green you've got a coolent leak. I've been having the same problem. Could be the lower intake gasket.

If it is, change it fast.

if it turns into a big leak, you are facing possible hydro lock and a lower end rebuild.
