Starting problems?

I think that possibly your fuel gauge sending unit is defective or that you have sediment in the bottom of your fuel tank. Have a good shop scan your fuel gauge and sending unit to see if they are reading accurately. I mean a real shop with a data stream scanner not a parts store mini-scan, which confuses more than helps. This is being outlawed in more and more States. A parts guy/gal is not a trained Technician. here are some shops: https://repairpal.com/ford-repair-in-west-columbia-south-carolina
