ya think?
he sounded so sincere

I will say, she did run much better last night and this morning than she has since i bouhgt her.
they didnt reflash the puter. maybe the thought of surgery scared her into behaving better
Actually I am now 100% convinced the fuel is the major culprit.
I always buy it at one location, did get a batch with water in a while back.
but on Tuesday my wife filled it up (30 plus gallons) at... dare i say... Murphy(walmart),
and i didnt get to drive the truck until last night, there is a profound difference and the fuel is the only variable.

If this continues, you may want to PM ford_doctor, I remember him commenting on the other forum about a developing HPOP problem that only shows when it is cold. From what I gathered, it causes the pump to not build pressure or to build it very slowly; no pressure to the injectors, no start.

i am going to try this evening to let her sit till sunday.
see if she fires right up, if not she goes to see mr. truck doc
.

she ran super this morning 25-33F here going down the mountain and through the woods to work.
one dead deer on the side of the road. she was laying there like she was taking a nap.
I felt bad, someone hit her and just left her there.
