Several 7.3 issues (starting, AC)

[quickthrill]

I have several problems with my 2000 7.3. First off starting has been a little bit of an issue. It will start with no problems but will shut off within a couple of seconds. This will happen several times and then the truck runs great. I changed the fuel filter and also all new glow plugs within the last couple of months.


The second issue is the A/C compressor engages and disengages when the heat is on no matter if it is in defrost or vent. Any ideas?

I have the same problem starting my 2000 7.3 Starts right up but stalls immediately. I have to hold the throttle down about half way to get it to run and then it runs great. ??????

The starting issue: What temps does this occur? First start up or any time? And just curious, last oil change?

AC: The clutches have worn down so much, that they try to engage, then can't stay there. Just remove a clutch shim on the inside and it'll be great. Does it do this just in defrost or vent or anytime?

It doesn't matter what the temperature is it just has the issue whether it is 70 out or 30 out.

Also AC problem is resolved thanks
