Engine Mechanical problem
1999 Ford F150 V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

Several times recently after shutting the engine off it would not restart and then after a few moments would start. This happened maybe 3 or 4 times over a two week period.

Came home the other day and the next morning the truck turns over fine and won't start and hasnt after trying several times over a two day period.

Hi there tadblue and TY for the donation this is what keeps the site going.

Do below as suggested and comeback with some results so that we can continue to assist

Disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, cap and rotor /distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, ECM, Ignitor camshaft and crankshaft sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it

You need an extra wire to fabricate under the coil boot to ground to check for spark-In the event you don't have spark-check the crankshaft position sensor 1st
