Warm Starting Issue

18 3.5 KR I had the high pressure fuel pump and in tank pump replaced after it let me down while traveling at an Indy shop across the street where we broke down. $2975 Ford parts
Another issue has arose now that it doesn’t start when it’s warmed up unless I press hard on the Bpedal and hold the start button in. Then it catches. And remote start does work either it tries but engine doesn’t ‘catch’.
When it’s cold starts first time every time with the remote start or first time pushing start button.
The local dealer can’t get me in until mid-March. Headed home from Wilm Nc to Pa end of Feb.

No codes or check engine ikon.

Any suggestion what it may be?

Thanks You in Advance.

The "Bpedal" is the brake pedal? . . . or some other pedal?

I assume this is the brake pedal as this is required to get it to crank, but if you're pressing on the gas pedal then this might send us down a different path.

I started a new thread for you over in the 2015 - 2020 F150 . The folks over there can get you going the right direction. Be sure to check back there for their input and to answer questions etc. I even got the ball rolling with your first reply over there.

Welcome aboard!

I accidentally replied to the other thread here in this thread, so now I added that reply to the other thread, and edited this thread to include this message.
