1999 Explorer

My explorer is very hard to start when the temp is under 30 degrees. I bought it used, and it only has 25,000 on it. Should I take it back to the dealer, or is there something I need to do when I start it, like pushing down the gas once and waiting and push it again, or--- anyone have an idea?

No... there is no special procedure to start it and do not press the gas pedal. read the owner's manual and take it to a ford dealership.If they give you a hard time, call customer sevice in detroit. Phone nr also is in the manual!!

Fast and quick test for weak injectors, fuel pump, etc. Turn key on, count to 5, which builds up fuel line pressure, then crank engine. Either works great or it won't make any difference at all.
