FORD SERVICE Strikes OUT

03- 6.0 Cold Start Please Help !!!!

Well, after having the truck for 3 days and $300 Ford just called and wants more money/time authorization. "says they are not sure of what is causing it". Hey, at least they are honest.

I think NOT. After a reflash of all modules and 2 hrs extra on the Ford Service IDS computer, if they aint figured it out by now I am afraid they are going to start guessing.

I don't wanna hijack this gentlemans post but we seem to be having the same common problem that just began when the night temps here in WV dropped below the 50's.


Just a recap:

I changed the alternator and discovered I had one bad battery. I replaced both batteries with 850 CCA new ones.

I purchased an AutoEnginuity scan program and verified the following:
13.5 volts from system battery/alternator
48 Volts from FICM
600 to 1100 Oil Rail Pressure
Injector Buzz Test = Pass
Installed Fuel pressure gauge and am getting 50 psi.

The truck is throwing no codes. Cam and Crank are in synch but cam always reads 'zero'


Any ideas of similiar experiences are aprreciated !!!!
