Re: 2006 Taurus hard starting. Fuel pump?

The fuel pressure specifications are:

30-55 psi Key On Engine Off
26-45 psi Key On Engine Running.

Your pressure readings are within specifications so I wouldn't be quick to condemn the fuel pump or the pressure regulator.

Have you checked the air filter recently? Does the car start better if you manually hold the throttle open slightly when cranking the engine?

Rod, the air filter looks good and holding the throttle didn't help it start easier.

Re: 2006 Taurus hard starting. Fuel pump?

It's probably not starved for air then. The next thing I'll suggest you try is crank the engine to start it a few revolutions, but stop before the engine actually starts. Then pull a couple of spark plugs and inspect them for raw fuel to see if maybe too much fuel is entering the cylinders.

Re: 2006 Taurus hard starting. Fuel pump?

After I sold the car, the new owner texted me to tell me they found a bad injector. They changed it and it started like a champ after that.
