hard starting code 1316

[kylerf150]

hey guys my uncle owns a 99 7.3l.His truck is hard starting and once it warms up it runs just fine.Alot of times he has to plug his truck in for about 15to 20 mins then it starts right up.does this sound like a idm he has put new glowplugs in it and the glowplugs and relay all seem to work fine.I think the a new idm would solve his problem but he doesn't want to spend money on the idm.could there be another problem.

How long after he put glow plugs in did this code pop up? Sounds like a harness/UVC plug issue. I would check that before getting a new IDM.

im not sure when he started having this problem its been over a year now and he thought glow plugs would of cured his problem.He lives in arizona and the thing wont even start in 100 degee weather. he said he checked the plugs on the harness when mine came unplugged my truck really ran like crap until i got it home. his runs great once it gets warm its just at start up it runs like a bad 10k idm mod and most of the time it wont start at all without being plugged in.
