Job 1 2001 Sport Trac with ~108,000 miles. MAC intake but no other performance mods.
Problem first started last winter on colder mornings, usually once truck was sitting for awhile. Would turn the key to start the truck, engine cranks, but then shuts off without turning over. Second attempt to start was usually successful, but the aftermarket radio resets and I had to reprogram my settings (time, station, equalizer, etc.). Since then, I have moved to Florida, but the problem has become more prominent. Truck sits 3-4 days without being run, but same issue when I try to start it and continues to happen even after I have been driving and making short stops.
Have not changed plugs/wires, replaced fuel pump, starter/ignition, or alternator.
Battery was replaced about 6 years ago. Serpentine belt replaced about a year ago. Cleaned IAC and did Seafoam treatment about 3 months ago.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks in advance.
