Hard Re-Start when cold

I have a 94 Ranger 3.0 4X4 man trans with 152,000 miles. If I stall the engine when cold re-start is difficult. Warm re-start is perfect. I haven't done anything yet, and only have a DMM for testing. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

First thing I would do would be to pull codes. How is the initial start when it's cold?

Initial cold start is fine. Can you describe the process to pull codes with a dmm?

Thanks

If you have a look at the top of this forum there is a sticky titled technical information. In there are the details along with the codes and what they mean.

Bill,

I pulled codes and received 33 and 133. I don't see code 133 listed. Did I miss something? Test was KOEO

Thanks,
Nate

Yeah,

It's a slug, but it has 4wd that works now, and for what I use it for it's OK. The mileage isn't bad and it will cruise on the highway plenty fast if you sniff out the hills before it does. Plus my 02 Focus ZX-5 and my Ducati satisfy my need for speed.

I'm getting about 15mpg all the time. I can live with that. I think I'll tune it up, clean the injectors and see if it gets better. Plus it is PAID for.
