Re: Windstar hard to start when warm

I wonder if your intake gasket replacement included the all-important hold down bolts and grommets? If the grommets were not replaced, little has been accomplished. Its possible that while an engine sits for a while, excess oil will run down and do some "sealing". Then upon start-up and warm up, this sealing film gets "sucked away".

There are other locations for air leaks that can be elusive .... in the vacuum power system, that includes the brake booster for example.

Happy hunting!
