2002 hard start
I have an 02 f350 and i have to replace the pedal assembly and I havent had time so the truck just sits in the garage and i barely drive it. it sat about six weeks so far and i start it about twice a week to move the vehicles in the garage and when i start it it takes a good 2 seconds of turning over beore it starts. is this just cause i havent used it or something else going on?

Given how a Powerstroke operates (using oil pressure to run the injectors), you shouldn't expect this to instantly blip to life at the flip of a key. I listened to a guy try to start his 4 times at a campground and he never let it crank long enough to fire, until the last time. 2 seconds is (IMO) perfectly normal for a crank time.
