Welcome along Richard. Never heard of that one. Sometimes difficult to start when the engine is hot, high underbonnet temps, vapour in the fuel rails but various solutions available. Engines are pretty bullet proof and lots of info on the Mustang 2V 4.6 SOHC.
Get your questionnaire back to Tim to get full membership. Lots to read. What are the last three digits of your VIN?

Mine would do that is I moved it off the drive to let somebody out and yes it could be a difficult to restart sometimes, a new set of Iridium spark plugs and a set of MSD ignition coils seems to have fixed it.
If a car is difficult to start with modern EFI there is usually a problem, the usual culprits are a weak spark, dribbly injector or injectors, air leak or in some cases a poor starting technique. A lot of people don't know but flooring the throttle when you try to start a fuel injected car often switches the injectors off, this is so you can clear a flooded engine.

Is this true for our engines? If it is it would be a remedy for an occasional problem for me.Originally Posted by SCP440
