Strange cold start?
About a week or 2 back my truck has been acting up when I start it, it starts fine, but seems to run a little rough and then suddenly goes completely quiet, like a gas engine, it only last a few seconds and then returns to being loud? Is this my ficm? Seems to run ok once warm, it seems to have normal power. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks...Jason

One of Ford's strategies is to actuate the turbo vanes after start-up - helps prevent vanes from sticking.
If it just started doing it and you didn't have any work done at the dealership, it is likely to be something else.
Finding out what code is there that caused the CEL would be helpful.
