6.0L scenario
So powerstrokers, I have an issue. I know I have a bad injector or two
but this is the story. I drive my truck anywhere, let it get to operating temperature and try to start it up and it will not fire it will idle for a second or two, and shut off. If i let it get cold it will fire right up. One of my friends joked that it has a cold starter in it
Is there even such thing? Is it possible my injectors have anything to do with this issue?

Sounds like your FICM is going bad. There are posts in the Tech Folder as how to test it, plus alot of real knowledgable guys here on the forum, that I'm sure will chime in with some great advise.

Brandon...do you have the Scan Gauge II? That thing is a MUST-ONE in the 6.0 diesels! It lets you see the numbers from just about ANY of the Ford sensors.... Oil Temp/REAL coolant temp and a bunch of others. All except fuel PSI and EGT. It even has a basic code scanner.

Scangauge is my next purchase!! It cranks for a sec. If i have it plugged in a couple hours, it starts like it should. Sometimes even when its not plugged in, it fires like it should. So im taking it to the diesel shop this week an having it diag. So i will post back here and let you know what i find.

Sounds like a HPOP problem. Oil seals different when cold and when hot. Switch dummy plugs and switch to stc fitting
