Rough Start Up!
I Have a 96 F150 with a 302. Recently I have noticed that my start up were taking a bit longer than usual. When I turned the key it would take the starter a few or more cranks to start up the engine. Well, she's got just shy of 200,000 miles on her so I changed out the starter for a all new modle from the Advanced Auto. Now it still takes a few or more cranks to start up the engine, but the starter sounds like some futuristic machine gun. Should it take more than a 1 or 2 count to start up my 302 or is there possibly an ignition problem I haven't found. Any Insight would be awsome. By the way, once she's running she has a smooth idle, but sometimes wants to stall out when I am backing.
Last turn up was one year ago this month. Very regular maintenence and only about 1 or 2 thousand miles since, if that.

Only when starting up. It's not bad. But compared to other vehicals I have had it is a little on the slow side. As for the fuel injectors, those I clean fairly regularly with sea foam additative and I do run a high grade of gas.
