I trying out a 99 XLT 4.0L SOCH 2wd been having trouble with cold starts. It usually only happens first thing in the morning after it sits all night. It acts like it has a carb! It will fire up first crank, as usual, but it idles around 400 rpms and sputters and acts like it's starving for fuel. So, usually if I hit the gas pedal it will sputter a few more times and go to normal idle or sometimes it will die. After this initial problem the truck runs like a top and never acts up the rest of the day; even if it sits 8-10 hours in the work parking lot!


Any Help ?
