Ford Escape The Ford Escape has been thoroughly updated, reinforcing the character and appeal that have made it America's perennial best-selling small sport-utility vehicle. The improvements nearly cover the spectrum, and inject a new level of refinement. We'd call the Escape a little truck among small SUVs. Its new styling deliberately invokes Ford's larger, truck-based SUVs.

Default 2005 Ford Escape XLT V6 Ignition Problem

Hello,
Recently, I have been having problems starting my engine when my 2005 Ford Escape has been sitting cold for a while (more than 4 hours).

When I turn the key, I hear the engine starting to rev up for about 2 seconds and then it it stops. I continue to hold the key in the ignition position and then the engine starts to rev up again and finally starts.

Do anyone know why this is happening? Should I be concerned? Any suggestions on what to do to fix it?
