Hard Start

Need help please. I own a 2002 F250 V10 2v. I bought this truck new off the lot. Recently, I changed out coil packs, plugs, all new pig tails, fuel pressure regulator, throttle body position sensor, idle air control valve, fuel pump and filter, mass air flow sensor and new fuel injectors. Anyhow, after installing the new injectors, my truck now hard starts in the morning and when it has been sitting for a few hours. Fuel pressure is perfect…it’s just not getting a full fuel load. Doesn’t make any sense to me, any suggestions guys? I’m stumped!! No codes, fuel trim perfect. No leaks.

What do you mean exactly by hard start? Is it flooded seeming, like putting your foot in the throttle clears it up/helps? Possibly one or more of the new injectors is leaking down.

Push throttle halfway down while starting. Does it start easier? If so you might have an injector bleeding into a cylinder.

Why did you replace all of those parts? Did they all fail at the same time?? You could be creating problems if you’re using aftermarket parts (like non-OEM injectors).
