Why does my truck need to be started up so many times?
I have a 1987 ford ranger v6 2.9. When I start up my truck cold start it will take 3-4 try's to get it going steady. Unless I slowly rev the engine after I first start it, but I try not doing that. Even when I do the instant I take my foot off the throttle the engine will almost stop turning, until I slightly rev the engine again. Without revs and letting it do its thing, I'll need to start it up 4 times at least to get the idol to normal. Has oil, spark plugs are good, wires still soft, fuel filter changed last oil change, air filter recently changed, clutch seems good still. Haven't had any issues with the clutch or drivetrain so far at least. Also, if you are familiar with this truck, any advice on things to do before they get bad? You know, like specifically for this year and model truck? I heard this year and model ranger needed some upgrades or something.
Choke working?
No intake / vacuum leaks (These effect cold starts, less noticeable when engine is warmed up).
Spark plugs giving good spark? (Blue / purple in colour).

- Why does my car speedometer go whackadoodle catywompis a couple of times each year? Every so often my speedometer goes wacky as if it were loose from it's bearings. It will just go flipping all over the place as if being pulled by a magnet. This only happens once or twice a year. I always drive the speed limit so it has nothing to do with driving. It's a 1995 Ford Taurus SW.
- How many miles is too many? - 2012 Ford Fusion? I have a couple of questions for you guys… I found a 2012 Ford Fusion SEL that I like. The problem is it has a LOT of miles for a 2012, 97k to be exact. Is this something a car buying should stay away from? My other question is how well do 2012 Ford Fusions hold up? How many miles can it be expected to last if it has been taken care of? I'm looking for a used car 2009-current for around or under 13k. Have suggestions? Feel free to let me know!
