I have a 1956 Crown Victoria with a 292 Yblock and fordomatic. Engine starts right up in the garage. When I drive a few miles and then stop the car, it does not start right up again. It cranks but does not act like its getting gas. After several tries, I finally crank the engine while pushing the accelerator to the floor. It will eventually start and I can get home. This problem of not or hard starting after the engine has warmed up has happened several times to the point I am afraid to take it anywhere.
