very poor start up
Okay so I ran my excursion earlier this morning and it ran fine and what have you, and now 6 hours later I got to start it up and it sputters and dies. I start it again and it starts right up but then goes to sputter again and I hit the gas and it didn't respond, the RPM gauge was lingering just under 500 RPMs. I had to hold the gas pedal for about 15-20 seconds before the engine would rev up, it kept doing this till the engine finally warmed up and I drove it up and down my block with barely and throttle and with wide open throttle and it ran fine. With the engine warmed up it started with no problems. I have a 2000 5.4L V8 gas

I have a V-10 that just did the same thing yesterday. It dose not get a lot of run time right now so I was just going to run it around to keep it up. The temp was close to 24 Degrees out. It shimmied, shook, & died as well for the 1st min or two then all was well. I'm interested to see if you get an answer

Yes! I found the problem! I didn't think it could be something so simple but my air intake system came off of the throttle body and it was letting to much air into the engine. I was playing with it with the engine running and I moved the air intake over the hole and it ran perfectly, I removed the air intake about halfway off the hole and the engine ran crappy and stalled out. Check your air intake it
