Engine talking longer and longer to start
Ok.. when I first got my car 1987 5.0 fox in january... It started up right when I turned the key.. Now after driving it for a while it takes about 4-5 seconds of cranking to start the motor
What is causing this? |
starter solenoid could be on the way out, swap it out, its a cheap part and good insurance for later on.
see if that changes anything |

see if that changes anything ohh? well it isn't like the starter sounds bad.. the starter seems like it cranks pretty strong.. just it takes a while to start... Sometimes it does it sometimes it doesn't... |
cycle the key a few times before trying to turn the engine over, see if that helps.

If it starts up right away what could that mean? |
it just primes the fuel system.

Just had on in the shop doing that and it was leaking injectors. Try holding your foot to the floor and see if that helps. If it does try some injector cleaner
