Mondeo will not start first time in the morning , it will only start after cranking the engine for a few minutes . I've had two in two garages and they were unable to solve the problem . After two months of putting up with this i have got it to start first time , not the most conventional of fixes as I never sourced the problem. Simply rev the engine to about 3000 rpms before immediately turning off the car and withdraw the key from the ignition. Car starts first time every morning now . Revving a car engine before shutdown would have been frowned upon in the past but I am so tired of this rubbish car i am beyond caring . I went through all the usual non start issues as I'm sure you have if you're reading this, battery . Starter. heater plugs , relay . Pipework, filter bleeding.
