Hey guys, I have been searching for a bit but cannot find a thread that specifies my problem exactly. If you know of one, link me to it and I'd be much appreciated!
I have a 2003 Ford Ranger 4.0L manual 5 speed. When cold, engine starts take 3 times of trying to get it to start. I will have clutch in, in first or out of gear, turn key and the starter just tries and tries turning the engine over but no start. It does this three times before it finally fires up and runs strong thereafter. The engine temp on the dash read the engine is cold and then as I drive and the engine warms up, it'll be easier to start while it is warm.
I will be replacing spark plugs, just because I do that any time I buy a new vehicle so I will see what these ones look like. Other than the starting issue the engine runs strong and smooth. Any ideas? Thanks!
