My Mountaineer at times, fails to start. It turns over but does not start. After a couple tries, it then starts
like it is supposed to. Have installed a new battery. Alternator and starter have been checked and seems
ok. I ran a tank of non-ethanol and a can of Sea Foam through it. Nothing has been done to the fuel system
except what I just pointed out.
Any help?
