starting problem
I have a 1994 f-150 with a 351 w.when the motor is not warm it starts up fast and easy but after I drive for a while and the motor warms up it turns over for like 4 to 5 seconds before it starts. Any help would be appreciated thanks

When I bought my '89 it would start slow in the morning but once the engine warmed up it would crank so slow that it wouldn't start at all. Took it to the parts store and the battery and alternator checked out fine. I replaced the starter and now it starts great every time no matter what the temperature. I would say check all your connections, which you probably should, but since it's affected by temperature i'd look into the starter for sure, if not that maybe battery?

Is this problem getting worse over time (i.e. did the 4-5 seconds start out as 2-3 seconds and has gotten worse since then?) Or did it start as 4-5 seconds and it's maintaining that same time for a while now?
When did you change the fuel filter last?
