Ecoboost Starting issue

[Owewil3225]

Is anyone else having issues with their Maverick struggling to start? It's happened 2 different days. All 3 times I drove it on those days it did it. Eventually turned over but took a few seconds. Took it in to get looked at and the service dept said there's something wrong with it but they need more time to diagnose. Ecoboost 5k miles

A few more details would help the diagnosis.

I go to start it up and it will take 4-5 seconds to turn over. Happened all 3 times I drove it last Thursday. It ran fine Friday through Wednesday and then yesterday it had the same issue and again this morning. The service dept said something is definitely wrong but need more time to diagnose. I was wondering if anyone had similar issues so I could help point the service dept.

Air+fuel+spark = combustion. That 100 year old rule hasn't changed. Well maybe it has. These days there are a dozen sensors and computers involved in managing the fuel air mixture to the engine. My bet is that some sensor critical to the startup mixture is sending bad data.

Hey there! I can look into your Maverick's start up concerns on my end if you’d like. Will you send us a message with your VIN and dealership info?

Do you mean 4-5 seconds before it even starts cranking (ie turning over) or 4-5 seconds before it starts (ie starts to run)

Before it starts. It will keep trying to crank

Extended crank time before engine starts? My 2014 wrangler had that issue. Was a defective camshaft position sensor. Maybe same issue?

Ended up being a bad fuel pump. Replaced and no issue yet.
