Hi Leonard

I just seen your post now and I'm understanding that your e-150 may be having a hard start problem because your not getting enough fuel. I would check you fuel pressure by hooking up a fuel pressure gauge and finding the spec you need for your vehicle. by my understanding it could be your fuel filter.
