Hi my 2005 sport trac slow start-Has new battery new plugs -wires and coil pac 140000 miles on it
 






Welcome to the site.

By slow start... do you mean it turns over slow? takes a while to ignite and start?

Turns over slow could be a weak battery even if its new, poor/corroded battery connections or bad cables to the battery and ground.

Takes a while to start could be weak fuel pressure, dirty fuel filter, etc.
 






Long crank usually low fuel pressure
20 years old and 140k miles… that’s about how long the factory pumps last

Yeah because of that crappy gas now compared to when these were built! Those old pumps won't last without much lubrication because of EPA regulations.
