Hi all,
I have problem and hope that someone can help me out.
My 2013 V6 takes a very long cranking time before it starts
My car is a standard 2013 V6 3.7 . The only mod is that it is equipped with a liquified petrol gas system.
The car always initially starts on gasoline and after about a minut or so it switches automatically to lpg.
Normally starting the engine takes about 2-3 seconds.
Lately starting takes 5-7 seconds. Cranking speed is normal. The last 3-4 weeks this happened once in a while. This week every start takes 5-7 seconds.
Only exemption: when the engine is warm it starts normally.
When the engine starts after 5-7 seconds of cranking I can smell gasoline.
My fear is that when I continue driving in this condition I could damage the kat.
Saddly this symptom is not mentioned in Ford's 2013 workshop manual.
The MIL-light is not on and there is no dtc-code stored in the cars memmory.
Here in the Netherlands there aren’t that many 2013 Mustangs. Ford dealers over here do not service Mustangs -2014 so I am hoping some one from you guys can help me out.
Thanks and best regards,
Marcel
