Default Hesitation When Cold

When my truck is cold in the mornings I have a hesitation when I first start out until it warms up some. Could this be a apps problem. Truck runs great otherwise. It just seems like its missing badly (Like a gasser) fuel pressure is good about 17psi.

I think DM is correct. It's pretty common to have some studder! Make sure your running a good anti gel and fuel treatment!

Also , keep a good eye on your fuel filter!

I think they all run a little rough until they are warmed up. If you think a 24V is bad in the cold, you should try a 12V...

Thanks guy's. I just never noticed it before. Maybe i should change the fuel filter. Could have gotten some bad fuel maybe.

Try a some fuel conditioner and/or dump a litre of TCW-3 2 stroke oil in the tank.
