Hard start
Ok so I got my truck back today from the shop & they got it running. They've started it up everyday & it's started right away even when it was -10 out & not plugged in. I get it started first try like normal drove it home shut it off & it won't start or hard start when it's warm. I was wondering if that could be the injector o-rings leaking by since it'll start fine cold but not hot it's a 94.5 & this is the first time the truck has ran in 7 months thanks!

Ok I've done some more diagnosing and I've hooked up a gauge and checked my oil rail pressure. When the engine is cold I have round 2000psi and opening is round 800psi. When the oil is warmed up the rail pressure is at 600psi at idle and then opening is at 400psi. I dead headed the pump and both sides out of the pump with the oil warmed up is at 300-400psi. The pump is a Terminator T-500. I got new o-rings for the IPR valve but that valve is new. So I'm at a loss of why I can't get oil pressure when the engine is hot or warmed up.

Newbie, me too!
Bought my '97 power stroke f-450 brand new. Only 122k miles to date. New glow plugs. New injector O-rings. Long cranking time when warm. Cannot get codes because mechanic changed out bad mother board about 10 yrs ago. Could not get new, so used a rebuilt. No codes since then. Don't know what to check next. Any help appreciated. Pro-mechanic of 25 years wants to shoot my engine!
