2011 Ecoboost question
I have noticed for a while that when I start my truck sometimes it can take a good 6-10 seconds to start... this does not happen that often. Anyone have any similar issues ? I have been to the dealer they say its normal but I think they just don't want to deal with it.
Thanks

My Fusion did that occasionally, but seemed like it would never start and I always stopped it after a few seconds. There was a TSB on it which replaced a ground cable on the battery with one that added a capacitive filter. Apparently it was an electrical noise issue preventing it from starting.

I can assist by getting your regional customer service manager involved. If you'd like to proceed, send me a PM with your name, phone number, mileage, VIN, and preferred servicing dealership. I'll get this into their hands.

Direct injected engines need to build pressure in the fuel rail before it starts and this is done by the high pressure injection pump which is run off the cam. The engine will crank until it reaches a certian pressure before it will start. Mine sometimes starts fast and sometimes it cranks a little more. Lots of differences with the DI engines, people just need to get used to a different operation than the old MPFI engines.
