Hello, Sirs,
I have this F250 03 model truck that has recently developed a strange starting problem. Truck starts in the morning and every time until after or right at noon. Then cranks like crazy but absolutely will not fire. The first time this happened I had it towed to a local garage where it sat over night. Next morning I get a call from the mechanic saying that it started right up and that he/they couldn't find anything wrong with it. It ran every time it was tried. So I left it sit until I needed it again. Fired right up, sounds great and has plenty of power. I ran my errands then stopped at the tire shop for new tires. When they went to pull out of the garage at noon, + or -, it wouldn't start. No codes had been set on OBD. I told them that it would start in the morning and of course it did. Yesterday afternoon raking and burning leaves I decided to move it but again no start. This morning I went out at 7am and viola it starts up and every time till the next time I need it.
I can't find anything wrong with it. It has 93000 miles, very clean for it's age and has been well cared for. So I'm asking yinz for some clue as to what to look for or tell me of a similar experience and what was done to fix it.
Thanks for looking,
Bob....not the cat.
