Hard, Long Starts

After driving the pickup on Saturday engine temps for ECT and EOT where over 190F. I stopped and after 5 minutes I went to restart the pickup the engine took 5-7 seconds to start.

Now intermittently I try to start and it takes 4 or 5 seconds to start. As of now it has always started.

I am less than 1/4 tank of fuel which I am uncertain if that would be related.

Not sure where to start troubleshooting?

Thanks!

Thad

So I went for a short drive and the pickup started fine. EOT and ECT were at 110F at startup.

The P2291 code has now been set. Otherwise no codes are showing up.

Any recommendations for a shop in western KY or central TN? I live just north of Clarksville for the next few months.

Thanks!

Turns out the #1 injector was the culprit. Replaced all the injectors on that side of the engine.

I am now getting a P0279 #7 injector circuit low code. The #7 injector was just replaced a week and a half ago. The #7 injector was replaced in January 2012.

I am starting to wonder whether I am getting a bad batch of injectors or if maybe something else to be contributing to this failure? FICM was worked by ED in January of 2012. I am currently seeing nothing below 46.5V on the FICM reading on my Edge CTS. Not sure what else could be causing this?

Thoughts? I plan to take it back to the guy who replaced the injector since it's under warranty.
