Have a 02 Focus SPI/auto with 90k. So far I've changed the fuel filter and plugs but haven't got around to replacing the EGR tube. The problem is once it sets for the night it doesn't want to start. Although yesterday I was at work 12 hours and it started fine. What it'll do typically is require 2 turnovers and then on the third it'll chug and sometimes die other times it'll just run rough for a few seconds and clear up. It runs good besides that and gets 32mpg average.
I don't have a fuel pressure tester but when it refuses to start there is a strong smell of gas. I've checked the coil and it is getting spark, although it could be weak. No codes present which is real stumper. Any ideas? This one is a bit more difficult to diagnose versus my Festiva/Aspires.
