Cold weather no power

Cold weather no power
I have a 02 Cummins diesel. I live in Ontario in the winter when its below freezing my truck starts great, but no power till it gets warm. Pedel to the floor for first 15 mins I can't beat 10mph. Then once it gets warm runs like a top. But absoltley no power til warm. In the summer when warm out can start and go and runs like a top. This truck has been like this for 170,000 km. But only have the porblem when cold outside.

Next chance you get, toss some #1 fuel in her, and that should fix you up!!! Also, wouldn't hurt to change out the fuel filter.
BTW, welcome to Diesel Bombers!!
Also, add a Cetane Booster and a fuel lubricant. #1 fuel is "dry" compared to #2 fuel.

Ok... A few things to check over...
1. Do you have any error codes???
OBD II Error Codes
Error Code listing...

2. Do you have enough fuel pressure?
Lift Pump Diagnostics
Fuel Pressure gauge is a MUST on all VP44 injection pumped trucks...
