My 2003 Ford Expedition takes a longer and longer time to start. When it was new it would start on the first crank. Now it takes about 3 seconds (seems like forever) and a little bit longer when it's cold.
I took it to the ford dealer and for a $90 diagnosis they couldn't find anything wrong.
I know you need fuel and spark at right time to start and run. Once started the car runs fine. I gave the car full throttle and didn't experience any hesitation, bogs, so it seems the fuel pump is capable of delivering and the fuel filter isn't clogged. As far as spark, the car runs fine. I read something about an idle air controller that lets air in with the throttle closed. I tried cracking open the throttle a little while starting in case the IAC wasn't working, but that didn't make a difference.
Does anyone have experience with this problem? Thanks in advance.
