v10 dies when first started
I have an 02 f350 V10, the past few months I have had to replace several parts including: o2 sensors, replaced exhaust and eliminated catalytic convertor, fuel pump, fuel injectors, all 10 ignition coils with new boots, IAC, MAF, PCV valve, and cam sensor. Now when I first start the truck in the morning it will stall and die, if I turn the key off and restart the engine it will run fine. I have swapped the relay for the PCM for another relay and it still does this. It has never thrown any codes even when it was running on 6 cylinders. I do not know where to go now other than new PCM, which I hope not to take that route. Thank you for the help in advance.

I would hook fuel pressure gauge up first start truck and then shut it down then watch fuel pressure to see if it drops u could have fuel leaking back to tank or a injector stuck open I will have to look up the spec but it should hold pressure for a while. Next time u cold start truck try cycling key a few times to build fuel pressure then see if it stalls

Hello travishy and welcome to FTE.
A couple of things jump out at me. First, I do not see that you replaced the fuel filter. As Big Bad Bronco suggests, you need to look at a fuel pressure gauge while starting.
The second possibility is perhaps this is related to cold starts, in as much as maybe a malfunctioning temp sensor is not commanding fuel/air mixture to go rich at start? I may not have the sensor name correct, but Intake Air Temp (IAT?) sensor sounds right.

Yes I did. It was the relay. I checked all the relays with my volt meter and out the bad one in the non uses slot and have not had a problem since. Thanks for the help hope this will help someone else with the similar issue.

Which relay? For this to be useful we need to know which one it is.
