Re: 4.9 takes a long time to start

Well, I've replaced the fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator. Still does the same. I have searched the net for a cold start valve, but no one seems to have one. Does this engine even have one? It must have some type cold start mechanism.

I read there is a timer control associated with it that only heats up when the key is in the start position, which seems to fit my problem. I also read about a man who unplugged his and his vehicle starts right up. So, after I crank on mine awhile, it heats that contact and turns off the valve.??

I don't know where it's located, but going to search some more. Any input will be greatly appreciated.
