Why after my1999 Ford explorer has been sitting for a while is it so hard to start in the morning I have to sit there and pump on the gas to get it started the revving noise is so unnaturally loud and then it will die before I can put it in drive or dies when I stop at a stop light. But after I’ve got down the road. Mile or so would be fine
