Good afternoon everyone
Car: Ford Explorer 1998
V6 High output
198,000 miles
Recent Maintenance:
Replaced Fuel pump
Replaced Fuel pump control board
Replaced Fuel filter
Replaced Battery
Symptoms:
The car is having a hard time starting when cold (sitting after 4hrs around 60 - 80 degree's ambient). Sputtering and sounding generally fuel starved kind of. Once started has a smooth idle and runs great, even spunky. Once warm, seems to start as though nothing is wrong after an hour of sitting off. (even after my simple 10min drive at aprox. 30mph home for lunch break)
I am stumped as to what could be cause the problem and am hoping some idea's can be found to resolve. I fear the car starting every morning, & lunch break recently.
Thank you!
