Ford V10- anyone have warmed up starting problems?

Question

Our 2005 era Ford V10 has always started right up but on the last trip I noticed after gassing up that it would cough and wheeze and stumble to a start. It starts easier when cold. Took it to our shop and they cleaned the "mass air sensor" then thought it was fixed probably because they were working on a cold engine that had not just run for 4 hours at 70mph. Any ideas?

Read the instructions on the sea foam, it will take 3 to 4 cans to treat the entire tank.

If you pour the Seafoam directly into the intake until it stalls then let it sit for 20 mins it will clean things out pretty good and you will only need one can. If you want to pour it into the fuel tank it will use 3 or 4 cans as Wildman describes based on the amount of gas in the tank. I use a can every other year in my MH eng and generator engine.
