mY CK 1500 v6 1998 starts easyly in the mornings and when is cold, but after a short run it is giving me a hard start. New plugs, new ignition coil...I am thinking of gas pump, but as I said if it starts in the morning or when has been off for some time and it is cold, starts easyly, so it is not the gas returning to the tank because a faulty check valve, what would you think could it be ? tomorrow I will check with the computer to check for an error code. But if you have any suggestion I really would appreciate it. thanks a lot, Ramon, Miami.
@victor_beltran4 күн бұрын
When it hard starts does it crank for a bit and turn over first attempt and drivable after or?? I would definitely scan truck for any codes. I’d check all possible ground cables for any corrosion or looseness. Also I would check crank sensor cam sensor and starter to see if connections power ground etc are good. Also check fuel pressure with gauge to see if it’s a good strong pressure and compare it to cold start crank vs the weak crank.

I agree with kasb58. I’ve heard that for every 10 km going faster than 100kmph, the average fuel consumption goes up 10%. So 100 kmph is 62 mph and change and 10 kmph is 6.2 mph. You’re talking about not doing 80-90 mph, but what’s the average speed you’re doing on the hwys? Also I feel like cars don’t calculate fuel usage while parked but idling or stopped in traffic, so if you take those variables out of the equation but the vehicle is still running that accounts for some of the computers increased fuel economy numbers vs doing the math of actual distance travelled and actual fuel used.
@victor_beltran3 ай бұрын
I averaged 70 mph, think I mentioned in vid. Only doing 70 rn since I’m still in break in period & got 900 miles on the clock. Once I drive back home from work I’ll be out of break in period and with a good oil change I’ll run another test going 75-80 to see what mpg I can get.

I did the math in city driving base off of miles I drove and by hand I figured out about 14mpg. With shit 87 fuel or whatever courtesy fuel the dealership topped off my truck with. On this truck when idle you can see your fuel economy drop. Literally 🤦🏻♂️seems like this 5.0 chugs some gas at idle. I’m sure you can save it by keeping to start/stop engaged but I shut mine off every time I get in truck. Did have lots of idle time tho so I do feel that 17 ford says you can get in city is pretty reasonable.
