2001 escape 3.0. Hard to start when outside temperature is below 30 degrees. Rarely it won't start and just drains the battery, Most times it will start after 2-3 tries in these low temperatures.
outdoor temperatures above 30 degrees or so it always starts. Never stalls at any temperature.
64,000 miles , new plugs coils, air filter , injectors cleaned, fuel filter and Battery... 1500 miles/ 1.5 years ago. Just started doing this this winter. Last year with all the new parts it always started right away.
Seems to me to be a firing or fuel issue. My best guess so far is that the fuel pump might not be holding pressure to the injectors ?
Any ideas appreciated
