Re: 1986 2.8L 4X4 starting problems

On that year , I assume it carb not FI , so first I would check the fuel pump (located on the lower front of the engine) . The fuel may be draining back down thru the diaphram when the engine is off and the starter does not spin the engine fast enough to recover the loss. When you get it cranked , the higher pump speed is adequate to keep the carb fed . Hope this helps. Rob
