I have a 2000 Ford Ranger 4x4, V6, 4.0L and just started having a cold start issue. When I start it up first time of the day (whether its cold or warm outside), I noticed it almost dying (RPM got real low then came back up and it was fine--no more problems starting it). It has done that a few days, and today I started it and the engine stopped. I had to crank it three times and it started on the third crank (all short cranks--3 seconds or less). It seems like something is getting worse and causing the engine to either not get enough air or fuel??? Has anyone else had this problem. The truck has 80000 miles on it. Fortunately, it's still under a six year warranty from Ford, but I'd like to know if anyone else has experienced this difficulty. Haven't had any other real issues. Thanks.
