My 2001 Ford E-350 van with the V-10 engine has served me well over the past 11 years. But now it's showing some signs of age.
It has always started quickly. When I turn the key, it would usually start after the engine "turned over" about 3 or 4 times.
But NOW, it has to turn over 10, 12 or sometimes 15 times before it will fire up and start.
It runs fine after it starts. And after it warms up, sometimes it starts up right away, and sometimes it has to turn over 12 - 15 times before it'll start again.
It doesn't bog down. Doesn't cut out, spit or sputter. So, what's causing this?
Fuel filter? Fuel pump? Suggestions?
Thanks
