1991 Ranger, almost 200k miles - Initial start in the morning and it fires up within a couple cranks.... any other time during the same day whether it has sat for 5 minutes or 2 hours, it will not turn over without giving some gas pedal.... Seems the longer between starts it may start a little easier but it definitely starts fine the next day. Seems an ongoing issue that has possibly worsened over the last few years. If I don't give it some gas pedal (yes, it's EFI, I shouldn't have to) it will just crank and crank. I have replaced the fuel pump and filter in the last couple years, I have swapped out the coil and put a new ecm. New wires, rotor, distributor cap. I did a check on the IAC valve after a recommendation from a member here and that seemed to pass fine. Only other thing I can think is to put in a new distributor?
