yes another hard start problem!!!!!!!

[junkinjoe]

well i have an 02 7.3 that i just put new relay in and glow plugs, it seems to cranks over for a long time before it starts. yes i wait till the light goes out.but it cranks over for a long time then starts and runs fine. any ideas?

Try waiting for a full min, with the key ON, After the WTS light goes out. The GPs are on for Much longer than the light (aprox 10-90 sec longer in the cold)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^He always beats me And of course he's right.
What weight oil are you using? What temps? How old are the batteries? What are their CCAs?
All of those things can affect it as well.

the batteries are 1000 cca and it spins super fast , but just seems to take a long time to catch and fire.

IPR valve?

[jesilvas]

How long is long anyway? Might be long to you but maybe it's normal for a 7.3?

wel it also has a new hpopand a long time is like 30 seconds ,i have a 03 7.3 that fires right up after the glow plugs have been cycled...
