MANOFTHETIRE

Hi all,
I'm having a problem with my 1996 5.0 van, it Will start fine when cold but when it gets to running temperature, and you shut it off To go into store or something and try to restart it will not start until you give it gas, than it will start. No codes come up, no idea what's wrong, any help would be appreciated
thanks in advance

does it start up normally after you leave the key to the 2nd position for like 10 secs or until the security light goes out?

MANOFTHETIRE

No it does not but you let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes it will start right up with no problem

Sounds like a fuel issue....pressure regulator or something. Try cleaning the MAF sensor. Check your air filter, fuel filter etc.

Giving a little throttle may be allowing the extra air it needs into the throttle body......if its flooding.

When you start it hot and shut it off can you smell rich exhaust?

MANOFTHETIRE

No we haven't noticed a rich smell but will see if we smell anything the next time we crank it thanks

does it start right up if you quickly turn the key after putting it in?
like without letting the fuel pump prime

MANOFTHETIRE

No we always let the pump prime, it will not restart until you press the gas. After you let it sit 15 to 20 mins it will start without pushing gas, we have been working on this in the yard , don't want to drive around town and get stuck with it not restarting

multipoint injection or throttlebody?

MANOFTHETIRE

Its got a Throttlebody

i was wondering if the injectors are leaking down into the throttle body. shut it off and watch the injectors for 5 minutes.
