Rough start even when warm out

Hello I'm asking a question for a friend. He said that even in 70 degree weather his 6.0 will have a hard time starting and when it does it runs rough until it warms up. He said it acts like its missing. Is there a known issue with this? I have the 7.3 so I have no idea what to tell him. Thank you in advance any input would be helpful.

I would test FICM (Fuel Injection Control Module) first. Quick n easy. Look in the Tech folder for a detailed thread.
