Wondering if anyone has seen this before I have to really tear into it.
I am getting a hard starting condition when first starting my truck. It should be hot enough out to not even need glow plugs. It has new Duraterms in it. Wireing not checked yet. It is like 100 degrees plus out. Perhaps the glows hit too early before the IP transfer pump is up to pressure?
LP wired to ign so always running. Pressure 6 PSI. (Got it that way and not motivated to mess with it yet.)
When spun over it will hit on one or two and then stall or kick the starter out. Adding throttle will start the engine no questions asked. I hate to rev it like that as it hits 1200 RPM or so when you step on it. This problem has started in the last 30 days after the engine was put in. So did start fine before.
It will start fine later and the rest of the day without being cranky.
New bat cables, good grounds, and the high end high speed starter. Injectors rebuilt and retested before going into this engine 4K ago.
The engine hitting and then not has the bendex being thrown out on the starter allowing it to free rev. :skep: This can't be good for the starter or the bolts.
Only thought I have is possible low idle? The idle drifts a bit low with the AC on.
Otherwise it runs fine. No, really, this one hits on all 8 unlike some other 6.5's of mine :rof:
