Hi Everyone,
I have a 2013 Limited. For the past few months, I have had a miserable time starting the car - first start in the morning (about 95% of the time). I'll have to try starting it from a few times to up to 20 times. If I leave it cranking it never starts. I have to stop it and start cranking again. Once it starts, it runs and starts perfectly all day, even after sitting at work for 7-8 hours. Of course when I brought it to my mechanic and finally to Ford, the car started perfectly, even when leaving it there overnight beforehand. This is occurring during the summer (upstate NY) - I don't see that the outdoor temperature has anything to do with it. Does anyone have any suggestions? How do I check the fuel rail pressure?
Thanks a lot
