Okay main problem is starting i cant figure it out.

background on the vehicle, Last week installed Swamps 200cc/30% injectors with a 38r. Had swamps reburn my chip for the new upgrades.

But heres the problem i noticed starting the truck was a little harder ( longer cranking ) till it would start never thought of anything since i read air gets in and can cause it but then yesterday and today its taken 30 minutes to start the truck since i have to do a trial and error.

the truck just seems like the batteries are being drained or something along those lines. i also noticed my gauges keep resetting back to blue( default color)

To day i plugged a battery charger up all good voltage i charged them so both read 14v and still no start.

So a couple of attempts at starting with chip in and ICP on nothing

I unhook the chip and ICP get a half *** start then eventually it starts.

after then i can hook it all back up and it starts good for the rest of the day but for what ever reason after it sits all night it dosnt want to start up right away.

any ideas? id like to figure it out today since id rather not wake up at 4am and attempt to do this all before work each day.

I posted this earlier then noticed i posted in the older 7.3 forum so im just bringing it here. I checked my HPOP it has oil in it. I had both batteries checked and they were fine. I noticed that my gauges would reset to the default color after each turn off. So i unscrewed my ECU and then redid that to make sure its tight. along with making sure the chip is seated properly. after that it stopped resting my gauges. Whether thats the issue or not i cant say but ive been checking my HPOP oil level since i stopped driving it around 1400. and hasnt changed oil levels are good.

I plan on starting it before i go to bed around 2200-2300 just to check and see what happens. to hope that makes my morning a little easier

thanks

How does it run once it starts? Any codes come up?

 

Have you driven it yet? Need to get it running and drive it. I switched between tunes and took it up to 80mph to get the air out. All worked fine after that. Only other thing I can think of is you ripped a o-ring or something. Let us know.

 

runs perfectly fine idle is great dosnt bounce at all and no codes i had codes for glowplugs and bad injection pressure. and i had my tech check it and he said glow plugs and injectors 5 injectors had bad o rings so now its fixed.

Have 400 miles on since install. and i cant imagine a ripped o ring they were so oiled up i could of greased every part of the truck up lol.

But i did just go out and start it up with zero issues so lets hope the morning is the same i dont feel like trying to start it for 30 minutes before work lol,

 

Good luck and I hope all's well. Let us know how you like the new power from the injectors once you can enjoy them.

 

I love the added power trans is struggling sometimes

 

Started strong this morning but I did leave it plugged in all night. After work 10hours of sitting. I had a decent start. Cranked a little longer then this morning and I had some white smoke. This morning I had no white smoke. Smoke smells like fuel
