COLD WEATHER PROBLEMS, F450 WILL SPIN FINE BUT NOT START. BOTH BATTERIES ARE HOT, 11.10 VOLTS ON INPUT OF GPR 11.06 ON OUTPUT OF GPR. (7) GLOWPLUGS READ .7 OHMS AND (1) 1.2 OHMS. FRESH OIL CHANGE (30 DELO) FRESH FUEL FILTER, NEW ICP, NEW EBP, NEW CPS, OIL LEVEL IN HPOP ABOUT 1/2" FROM TOP. IT WILL ONLY CRANK WHEN PLUGGED UP. WHEN IT SITS OVERNIGHT IT WILL SPIN AND TRY TO START BUT NEVER WILL WITHOUT ETHER. I HAVE A TS PERFORMANCE 6 POSITION CHIP IN IT AND I HAVE TO TURN IT TO THE 140HP LEVEL TO GET IT TO CRANK THEN. WHEN IT FINALY CRANKS IT RUNS ROUGH AND SMOKES LIKE A TRAIN. I HAVE UNPLUGGED THE ICP AND EBP AND TRIED WITH NO LUCK. WHEN IT IS COLD IT SEEMS LIKE AN EXHAUST BRAKE IS HOLDING THE ENGINE BACK KEEPING IT FROM STARTING, LIKE IT IS CHOKING IT DOWN. I HAVE TO DRIVE FOR A FEW MILES BEFORE IT WILL "OPEN UP AND GO". I AM IN ALABAMA AND ITS NOT EVEN COLD YET AND I AM HAVING TROUBLES. GOT ANY IDEAS? HELP HELP HELP!!! THANKS IN ADVANCE.
I READ THE POST WHERE THE GUY HAD INJECTOR TROUBLES. HE SAID HE CHECKED THE INJECTORS WITH A FEELER GAUGE. I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH HOW HE DID THIS. I WOULD LIKE TO CHECK MINE EVERY WAY POSSIBLE I CAN TO SEE IF I HAVE PROBLEMS. I CHECKED ON REBUILT ONES AND THEY ARE VERY PRICEY, CAN I REPLACE WORN PARTS ON MY INJECTORS, I KNOW I CAN GET THE ORING KITS BUT I WAS NOT SURE ON THE MAJOR COMPONENTS. ANYBODY GOT ANY IDEAS OR OPINIONS? THANKS FOR THE HELP!!
