I have a 1985 f150 302 engine fuel injected. The problem I have is starting it when it is at normal operating temperature.
It starts fine when it is cold. I will go on an errand stop it lets say for half an hour and when I try to start it. I have to crank it over three to four times wait between ten to fifteen seconds crank it over again and then it will start. I need help Please.

 

Do you have any warning lights at all? How does it run when it runs? Can you smell gas? Does it spit and sputter? Some more info might get you closer to an answer. It could be any number of things.

 

timing can cause a similar problen

 

I went throught the same problems just recently, ended up being my stock battery finaly going out at 115k, replaced it with a red top optima.

 

Could be the electronics box on the fenderwell. They don't always just "quit".

 

Sounds like fuel may not be reaching the injectors.Try turning key on for 5 seconds,off then on 5 seconds and so on for about 4 or 5 times and then see if it starts.

 

to miles .

There are no warning lights coming on the dash board and they all work.
Thanks for the tip on the electronic box on the fender well.
