Intermittent Starting Problem
96 F150 XL 4.9L 4x4
Every few start-ups my truck has a hard time starting. It cranks strong (new battery), but just won't turn over. I try it several times and it finally turns over and I don't have trouble again until it sits for awhile. This isn't my primary vehicle so it usually only gets used a couple times a week if that. My friend seems to think its a fuel problem, but since its intermittent and eventually starts we haven't as of yet been able to duplicate the problem when its not working. I though I'd see what others think it might be before starting to take things apart and do some diagnosis. I don't want to get stuck someplace even though it only seems to happen in my driveway
