ok so got all plugs, wires, cap done and it started up right away. Didnt do rotor because i got the bolt on one on accident isted of the slide on. But it started up right away. about half hour later i went to leave and it was doing the same thing as before. I feel like it is cranking to long to start. Any idea what would cause this?

It does. Take the vaccum line off the brake booster and pour 1/3 to 1/2 can in while the engine is running. Then let it sit for about 10 or 20 minutes. Then start and romp on it a little. Enjoy the show. After i did my truck i noticed it was a lot quicker i also poured half a can in the gas as well.

I did the seafoam thing in my truck and it made a difference. I did one can in the gas tank, 1/2 can in the booster line and 1/2 can in the oil. (I then changed the oil after driving around for a day or two and now have new oil in it and another 1/2 can of seafoam and will be changing it again in about 300 miles)

Don't even need a code reader.... www.fordfuelinjection.com .......If you were to do seafoam you should do it BEFORE you change the spark plugs.
