Hello, Im new to the powerstroke world and im needing some help, I just bought a 2004 Excursion and let me start off by saying I dont drive it much, but it sat for about 5-7 days last week and when I went to start it, it gave me fits, first off it took probaly 10 crank cycles to get it to start, it would fire for a split second and die, once it did start it chugged and puffed black smoke for about 30 seconds and started to run fine. any info would be great, also at time at idle is show no oil pressure but runs fine as soon as it gets over 900 rpms it goes right back up

Have your mechanic check your glow plugs and your low pressure oil pump with a manual oil pressure gauge.

 

He did.
