Maybe I misread something but need to know if the engine is cranking but not starting or just not cranking at all when this happens? T

Hi, Tom The Car cranks For 10 seconds and starts it doesn't have any other problems except for this occasional problem. Most of the time it turns right over as I said it is only recently occuring and runs great even after the slow start. Thanks Tom.

Re: 2003 windstar Intermittent Excessive cranking Sign In
Could be fuel pressure problems. Intermittent problems are hell to figure out so do your best to help with diagnostics.

Listen to fuel pump buzzing and then shut off with key in run position. If it can't do that it has to be the source of this problem and still could be something other than just needing a new pump, T
