I have a 98 ford escort 2.0 SOHC, with 150k miles. The car is hard to start on the first try. It will usually start on the second turn. after I drive and let it sit it will crank on the first try. Or if I turn the ignition back and forth a couple of times (without cranking the car over) it will start up in the first try. I can hear the fuel pump come on when i turn the car over. These are new: plugs, wires, timing belt, both coolant sensors, put fuel injection cleaner on the last two fill ups, thermostat, water pump, just flushed the coolant system. Car runs perfect, no hesitation, and idles fine. Any help would be very
