    From a cold start, 

    Sounds like the fuel system eventually gets drained, due to a faulty check
    valve, and the fuel pump must fill upp the complete fuel system after long
    periods of inactivity.

    You're very clear about the problem and that's not the way they work. Take
    it to another dealership.

    You might want to ask this on either www.focusfanatics.com or on
    www.focusmotorsports.com . Both have been very helpful with my problems and
    mods.

    With all fuel injected cars today combined with the emission controls you
    switch the ignition on WAIT a couple of seconds and then start the car. You
    very likely have a slow bleed down on the fuel line and the pump has to
    pressure up to the correct fuel line pressure and the map sensors etc have
    to set the computer.
    This is only going to get worse with the more requirements for emissions
    lowering.
    Of course it could be also this is the same crap car that ford made in 1999
    and still has the same high level of non quality that the had back then.

    doing the same thing. I will try what you suggested.
