[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 560891, member: 52972"] Doug, The hard starting after sitting overnight is a common problem with the earlier model Sport Trac's fuel pumps. An easy way around that is to turn on the ignition for about 10 seconds before attempting to crank the engine with the starter. This allows time for the fuel pump to build pressure before you attempt to start. My 2001 Sport Trac had the leaking fuel pump and I found that letting the pump build pressure before starting would allow the engine to start immediately without all that wear on the starter. There is an updated fuel pump out to replace the old ones, but they will still get the old ones until their supplies are used. Getting an aftermarket pump from someone other than Ford might be more reliable. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
