02 7.3 running rough need help

02 7.3 running rough need help
This is my symptoms:

On cold start ups engine runs rough. Idling it knoicks worse than niormal on the road she runs really rough. If I get on here she smooths out ( but still runs rough a bit) but normal driving at between 1200 -2000 rpm she runs so rough it shakes the whole truck. It will do this until she gets up to operating temp & then it goes away. The more she warms up the better she runs. Once up to temp she will run perfectly. The colder it is outside the worse it is & the longer it takes for it to go away. I have replaced the valve cover gaskers and new harnesses, new glow plugs. Still same problems. I have AE and one time it gave me a #2 cylinder code. have not been able to repete this code. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem or any suggestions on what to check next.

i have AE i keep it on all the time, and i have been treating it bad to try to make it code but it will not code. I have run all the test that i can think of. The only code that i have ever been able to get off it was a #2 cylinder code one time right after start up. i have not been able to get that code again.

Reading other posts and having the same problem as you, the common thread is a worn injector #8 but can be the same for any injector. I believe the gap is suppose to be .015", but do read up on this as I am just a parrot repeating other peoples threads.
