94 2.3 hard to start when warm

[Deghan2172]

Occasionally when i shut my truck off for less than 10 minutes it doesn't like to start again. when it does this the only way to get it to fire up is if i turn the key on and off and listen for the fuel pump. Its done this 4 or 5 times this week and i hope i can get to the bottom of this and any input would really help. Thank you

possible fuel pump check valve releasing pressure?

Take fuel pump relay out and wack lightly 5-6 time top and bottom on work bench. USE DISCRETION WHEN PERFORMING. Helps to clean contacts inside relay. Other option is to buy new. Recommend getting Ford as the aftermarkets ones do not seem to hold up.

Can you be more specific with your "NO START?"

Not cranking at starter? Fuel pumps not priming?

Is motor turning?

A starter solenoid can go bad...get heat soaked....especially sitting under a hot manifold...
