I recently did an engine rebuild on my 97 5.0 put everything back to stock no super modifications just a normal rebuild, i didn't have this issue before i had did the rebuild, side note it took about a month so the car sat for a month, fuel tank was full. fast forward to now, im still having issues with a hard starting problem, the engine will crank over for a long while before starting once it does start it seems to run fine no idle problems or anything, During the rebuild i did a tune up so new spark plugs , wires, and packs were added,
things i have already changed out and no results.
-Fuel Filter
-Fuel Pressure Regulator
-Fuel Pump and Assembly
-Crankshaft Position Sensor
-Camshaft Position Sensor
-Idle Air Control Valve
-Temp Control Sensor
-Purge Valve
The MAF doesnt appear to be malfuctioning as disconnecting it makes the vacuum jump but then plugging it back in it returns to normal.
these are things i can think of off the top of my head right
I have an OBD bluetooth device with the Torque Pro App for android, any other info that anyone needs please ask this problem is just mind boggling, help would be greatly appreciated.
