Have a shop run a fuel pressure leak down test and have the engine coolant temperature sensor checked for proper colds engine value, if it is reading wrong for any reason then it can starve for fuel cold and it makes it hard to start.

If you can verify that the battery is good then I would say that the starter itself has failed. This clicking you hear is the solenoid on the starter attempting to engage the starter.

Are you getting any codes from the Check Engine Light? This sounds like it could have something to do with a sensor. Check your air filter and make sure it's clean. The tach on my 1999 doesn't really work, but it hasn't coincided with other driveability problems. The engine doesn't change in it's RPM's, the tachometer just stops working. Have your charging system checked. The shaking might be coming from bad fuel pump operation, clogged fuel filter, or dirty fuel injectors. Try putting an additive into your gastank to clean the injectors (a bottle of Seafoam is great for this). Try calling your local Autozone and see if they do free trouble code scanning. This might help lead you in a better direction.

2000 Ford Ranger hard to start:

Unfortunately there are many things that could be causing this. I would check the engine coolant temp. sensor ..and see what its reading with the engine hot. Your going to need a scan tool to get that reading...or just change the sensor...good luck

I have 2000 Taurus with 3.0 DOHC engine. That car always have a hard time to start the engine when it's cold in early morning. Why?

IF IT ALWAYS STARTS FINE AFTER IT'S BEEN RUNNING THEN YOU NEED TO HAVE THE BATTERY TESTED,TRY TO START IT WITH BOOSTER CABLES TO CONFIRM.

98 taurus , it totally dies, no lights, no interior lights, no start, and suddenly it runs like if nothing happened

battery gremlins...have the battery system diagnosed at a Sears auto center , as if you're needing a battery and maybe they'll do it for free? sometime Walmarts do the same-free
Good Luck
