They told me the cause of my cold start issues were caused by the injectors sticking. Can anyone tell me what causes them to stick and how a person prevents this in the future? __________________ 2003 350 Lariat FX4 Short Box 6.0L SOLD 2008 FX4 F350 6.4L Dually Long Box, Black on Black PICTURES 2007 Keystone Raptor 3712TS PICTURES

I'm being told that half of the injectors were sticking therefor they needed to be replaced. Stiction is more a condition than a failed part is it not? __________________ 2003 350 Lariat FX4 Short Box 6.0L SOLD 2008 FX4 F350 6.4L Dually Long Box, Black on Black PICTURES 2007 Keystone Raptor 3712TS PICTURES
