    Wont start warm

    I have a 2000 f150 and its starts just fine from a dead cold start but when I drive it to work and go to move it again it turns over about three to six times before starting up any suggestions?

    Thanks. Could b a few things bud. Could b a fuel thing. Maybe the fuel pump is goin bad. Or could b a sensor on its way out. But it does start right? Just takes a few more cranks?

    Also. Check the air hose that goes to your throttle body. I it's loose and suckin to much air. That could also keep it from not starting. Cold air starts easier. It combusts better. Fairly warm air may take a bit more time.
