I am with you LocoMike .. mine was reflashed at the first of the year. now that it's getting into the 50's it has a bad clutter for the first 5 mins.. my dad(ex trucker) ask me about my oil level.. i siad it was full. he said what kind.. I said Synthetic .. he said that's your problem.he said oil is too thinned out. injector's not getting the proper oil pressure to work properly until the oil is warmed up to give them proper pressure. so I will be going back to Motorcraft in the next few days. i will let yall know how it goes.

THANKS DUDE.... Please let me know if it helps. i just switched to synthetic this summer so these are the first cool temps this oil has seen.

i am confused though, cold oil should be thicker and my AutoEginuty says I have 600+ PSI at Idle on start-up.

In theory, thicker should be higher pressure.... BUT, I will take any ideas.

Thanks and let me know.
