7.3 hard start situation
I've got a 2000 7.3 and I have just replaced the glow plugs and glow plug solenoid and I'm still having cold start problems. It will crank hard and I hear the solenoid kick and everything. I'm starting to wonder if it's fuel related. If I plug the truck in it runs fine but if I don't it fights hard to start. Any help would be appreciated thanks

I can remember the International's i had for work all did the same thing in the winter guess what i'm saying is plug it in and you'll never have a a cold start problem sorry I have no real solution for your situation Gary |
hi guys, am new to this site. my 99 7.3 starts hard also since i live in indy cold weather. I just push throttle to the floor let glow plugs go off and crank till it starts. runs rough for 30 seconds or so then idles up like it should. Am going to check under valve covers this wknd to see if harness is tight. will do 25 cent fix on connector.

I cycle the key on and off three to four time letting the chamber heat up then I start her and usally depending on how cold it is fires up with minimal trouble. I did have one time that was bad it was -5 with a - 30 windchill.

I have a 2000 f350 I put new glow plugs I. About two years ago and I just checked my relay. I'm getting 10 volts going to my glow plugs but it's still takes a few times of trying before it starts and when it does I have a lot of white smoke out the trail pipe. Any ideas
