Need input here.
My wife's Expedition, 2000 5.4 AWD/4WD approximate 70,000 miles, has now done this twice. We'll drive around town for between 30-60 minutes. Stop somewhere for about 5 minutes. It then starts but runs very rough for just a few seconds and dies.
Repeated attempts to start it; either it wont start at all, or it starts and runs rough for a few seconds and then dies, even if you give it some gas. After numerous attempts and about 20-30 minutes, it starts up and runs as if nothing has ever happened.
I'm fairly certain it's not the battery, the engine turns over just fine. The check engine light is not on when it's running. It's not overheating or even getting into the high range of normal operating temperature.
Where should I start looking? Any advice appreciated!
