hard start, when hot!
Hi guys,
I have been a long time reader, but haven't really posted much.
I have a '92 f250 w/ 460 efi. My truck starts right up in the morning, but when the engine gets warmed up and I shut it off for a min. it gets hard to start. Is it the timing, or have I got other problems?
Thanks in advance.

You didn't really say if it was hard to turn-over (starter problems) or if it was hard to fire (turns over easily but won't fire)...
As a guess I'd say you have one or more leaking injectors that are flooding the engine or at least soaking the plugs. I had the same problem a couple of years ago and it went away after I ran a couple cans of injector cleaner through the system.

sorry, I should have been more clear. After my truck gets warmed up, if I shut it off and wait 2 minutes then try to restart it, it will turn over fine but will not fire. If I let it turn over for 1 second then stop and try it again it will start on the second time after about 5 sec. of cranking the engine over. If I turn it over until it starts the first time it will take quite a bit longer to start.
I have already ran a few cans of Techron fuel injector cleaner, is there a diffrent brand I should try?
