PUSHROD , GLOBALHELPER, CSUBAK30...Hard to start after sitting hot 15-30 minutes

Thank you! I had an idea it was set up like that , and from what I've found about the fuel pump , it's a 'return-less' system , so the pressure regulator is integral with the pump module. My next step was to find some one with the right adapter (gave all my american car stuff away years ago-DUMB!) and watch the fuel pressure both KOEO & KOER & see what it does. I also found a TSB about low fuel level and being parked on an incline causing the same symptom- applied to '99-'01 explorers 4.0. So far tonight my wifes' been out & filled up first , and has had no problems at all with at least 4 stops along her travels. Hope that's a good sign! Thanks again for the input--GO GREEN JELLY!.........

Gotcha!! Just threw in some random ideas as to what it could be... Kinda rare for FoMoCo pumps to give problems... Wish I could say the same for GM!!.... 'Probably' 60:1 ratio...at the shop.. No joke!!

Thanks , that IS reassuring , I really don't want to put a pump in this , if I don't need to.
