Aron Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I Finally Got The Truck to start This Morning When I plugged It In For About 30 Minutes. The Shutoff Valve DOES Work But Now I'm Lost. Why Would The Truck Start With Just A Little Bit Of Warmth?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aron Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 really needs the glow plugs I Did Put New Glow Plugs In About A Month Ago, Brand New Motorcraft Plugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdWrknTrk Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I Did Put New Glow Plugs In About A Month Ago, Brand New Motorcraft Plugs. I know. I also know you've tested the relay & controller. I don't know what the simple test is for injector cold advance, but you might look into it. If everything else is working that seems like the key to the puzzle.

grumpin Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I Did Put New Glow Plugs In About A Month Ago, Brand New Motorcraft Plugs. If you used either with the glow plugs, you might want to put a multimeter on the glow plugs and check for continuity. My 7.3 IDI always started better with the block heater plugged in before start. I got a heavy duty appliance timer and set it to come on 2-3 hours before I went to work, depending on the temperature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I Checked It And It Seems Like It Is Working, It Did Start Today With A Long Crank And One Cycle Of The Glow Plugs. I Do Not Think It's Normal Though.

I Do Not Think It's Normal Though. (t Was about 80° Outside) Do you remember what brand of glow plugs you put in? I had trouble with glow plugs until I put in Beru, I think was the brand name. I had a 88 7.3, so I think they’re similar to the 6.9, and I don’t always remember good. I also had to replace the glow plug controller and connectors, some were burnt. Took awhile but I finaly got that truck starting better, but still used the block heater in the cold weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I've heard Beru are the hot ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
