My 88 is a bitch to start in the morning. Usually I have to crank it 7 or 8 or 10 times before she'll kick over. I know sometimes I flood it but cranking it and tapping the gas pedal 3 or 4 times is the only way I know how to start it. If it doesn't work the first time I repeat the process.
The truck is an 88 with a carburated 2.0L engine. I was told (by a former Ford mechanic) that these engines have weak ignition systems on them. The cap and rotor button, ignition coil and ignition control module have all been replaced as well as the plugs and wires. Where am I going wrong?
