Need some help with a 99 hard start **FIXED**
A buddy of mine just got this 99 7.3... Has to give it a little squirt of fluid to get it to start.. When he revs it it won't go past 2000 rpms. Like it hits a limiter. Oils clean and full..replaced the cps... suggestions?..........
...............
...Thanks, Fellas..... He messaged me last night. Truck is now running fine! Hooked a scanner up to it. It told him it was the CPS. I believe that is the first thing I told him to check. He chose not to because it was supposed to be new

Sounds like a high pressure oil leak to me, injector orings or something of the like. I'm thinking its not building enough oil pressure to fire. Should hook up a gauge to the head and see pressure while cranking.
