2000 Mustang 3.8L Hard to Start when cold!
I just started having problems starting my car in the mornings. The starter will turn over but the engine won't crank. It usually takes about 5 or 6 tries before the car starts and a few times the car would not start at all. Once the car is started I usually don't have any problems with it for the rest of the day and it runs fine. I checked the fuel pressure at the rail and it was at 30 PSI at idle and it increased to 35 PSI at about 2500 RPM's, I also left the gauge on after shutting the engine off and the pressure remained constant at 30 PSI. I am getting spark to the spark plugs and the plugs were replaced about a year and half ago. I have one code that was stored, which was a cam shaft position sensor. I have heard that the these rarely go bad and that it was probably something else causing this sensor to throw this code. I need to get this fixed ASAP, if anybody can help with this issue it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
