    2006 slow cold start ...

    Follow up post ... My mechanics solution was to replace the alternator, again. 4th one in 5 months. We traded the expy in 3 days later. Not sure what the problem really was, maybe just a bad run of luck with new alternator but my wife lost faith in the old girl so she had to go.

    2006 slow cold start ...

    I put in a new fuel pump last week because of the slow start but it didn't fix the problem. Would low fuel pressure only at start up be caused by a bad fuel pressure regulator or maybe the fuel pump drive modulator? As far as rare problems go, that's about the only kind I seem to have...

    2006 slow cold start ...

    As I'm reading about the P0622 I realize I should elaborate on the EB's recent history. In Sept we had to replace the battery (reasonably old) for a bad terminal and starter(original). Then in November we got the charging system warning and found a bad alternator. After replacing it things...

    2006 slow cold start ...

    Well I've got a few projects going and was gonna work on this tomorrow night but things really hit the fan tonight. It's been turning over longer and longer before it starts. Today leaving work it took about 6 seconds before it struggled to life and puffed a cloud of white smoke. About a mile...

    Understood. I'm not breaking the bank with plugs either. I'll swap the coil for a more definitive test.

    I ohmed out the coil while it was off and it reads normal 1.8 (according to the almighty internet anyway). Also the miss only seems to be at start up. Engine runs fine and smooth any other time. The OBDII code said the miss was in the 1st 1000 rpms.

    2006 slow cold start ...

    I checked the plug and coil today but everything checked out. Plug didn't look brand new but it was ok. I cleaned everything up applied some dielectric grease and put things back together. The Expy acts exactly the same. Any other ideas out there? I've read that a leaky injector can drain...

    Seems logical enough, will do. I've been so focused on the thing seemingly starving for fuel that I never even inspected plugs. Thanks.

    How many miles on your 2nd Gen Ford Expedition?

    06 2WD EB with just over 172k. Second owner, had it for 8 years and no complaints until 2020. Now it's giving me a run for my money which is why I joined this forum.

    2006 slow cold start ...

    I've got an 06 Eddie Bauer with 170,000 miles on it that seems to have a miss at start up when the engine is cold. I'm in central Florida so not actual cold but just if the engine has been off for a few hours. After some internet research I was thinking it was a fuel pressure problem so I...
