Car starts after 2nd try?
I have a 2002 ford explorer 4.0 and i recently changed the fuel pump and filter. And i was why the car takes about 2 try's to start? The engine turns but doesn't turn on but after 2 or 3 try's it starts? Could it be the the battery in the car is a little smaller then the one that was in it originally?
Make sure there's a non-return valve fitted.
The battery would not cause that. It is a Ford, be happy that it starts at all.

- Car starts rolling again after brakes pressed? My girlfriends Ford Taurus stops like normal when the brake is pressed, but then after stopping completely it makes a rough sounding noise and starts rolling like the brake isn't pressed down, but it is. Any help would be appreciated.
- Ford Ranger 4.0, 172,000 miles rough idle when starting after sitting overnight or after 2-3 hours. Starts 1st crank, idles rough 1 minute? Or so and then smooths out and runs fine. New heads and gaskets. Cleaned MAF sensor, throttle body and air intake sensor, new IAC valve, new air and fuel filters, new PCV valve. No smoke coming from exhaust and No check engine light. Any ideas what's causing this rough idle?
- Ford 300 starts smoking from oil cap after 1 minute of runtime and radiator smells like a wet fire pit? It was running fine then it started acting hard to start off and smoking a little so I figured oil. Put some more in and it straightened up for a mile or so then started acting up worse. It began to have a knocking noise like an old diesel tractor. I don't understand what it is because it starts up just fine but won't run for more than a minute before it starts pudding and knocking. Also there are tiny pieces of rust chunks in the radiator and it smells like a wet fire pit.
