I have a 91 ford f150 4.9l and it starts up and runs great but after i drive it for about 15-20 miles till it gets warm and then shut it off it will just crank and not start up at all once it cools down for an hour or so it fires right back up. It runs smooth and idles good. But i cant figure out whats wrong with it.

    Im a female what exactly is that? And where is it located?

  • robert Mar 12, 2015

    its what turns your engine so it can start. its an electric motor. underneath your car attached to the engine by two bolts with electrical wires attached to it. go to youtube and search for 'replace starter' for your make and model

You should try looking at the transmission fluide, it must be short. If it is, you should go buy a transmission fluid. And make sure you car pipes has no leak.

Good Evening, you might want to check those injectors, I can not remember for certain but that setup was sequential and when one or two have a problem it would take out the rest. Ohm out the injectors and see what you have there.

99' f-150, 5.4 triton V8, 340,000 miles. Runs great unless I drive 15 plus miles and shut off. If I try to start right away, it turns over but won't start. I wait from 10 to 40 minutes until starts.

Could be vapor-lock. When you shut it down fully warm, heat can cause the fuel in the lines to boil, making it hard to start. Low fuel pressure can make the symptoms worse, as full pressure will condense the vapor, and get your fuel flowing.

I would check fuel pressure while running, and again, during the time when it doesn't start.

My 95 ford f150 runs great till it warms up it seems then the fuel pump looses power n shuts down wait few mins kicks back on runs fine till few min later

Sounds like your ignition module it is common on fords to do this when its cool it will start and run fine but once it heats up the truck dies until you let it cool down again and then your up and running till it heats up again. Some modules are mounted on the fender others are mounted with the distributor have it checked and let me know how it went.
