97 7.3L Starting Issue
my 97 ford f-250 HD 7.3L has trouble starting, even when warm, so i got the starter and alternator rebuilt. Now, the first time i try and start it, it takes about 12 secs to start, even when its warm, even if i glow it more then once.
But when i crank it over for a second or two, then stop, then crank it over again, it starts right up after about 2 seconds? Could this be cam sensor (i know there is a recall but haven't called ford yet).
When i bought the truck a few months ago, the previous owner replaced the fuel pump, fuel bowl, fuel lines, glow plugs. Batteries are both still good (got them tested).
ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

Could be a lot of things. But if it's hard starting when warm... that's going to be multiplied when cold.
Mine acted like that... and after testing it, it was 3 injector coils that were weak... So it was trying to start on 5 cyl's instead of 8.
