At least not right away. My 2003 F250 has been sitting for a while. I would go out and start it usually once a week. This has been going on for almost two months. I've been busy and it needs the AC compressor replaced. Anyhow, long story short a couple weeks ago I could not get it to start. It would spin and sounded like it was trying but just wouldn't start up. I messed with it a bit, grabbed my OBD2 scanner, plugged it in and sure enough the damned thing cranked. Ever since then though it does the same thing. I have figured out that if I let it sit 10-20 seconds after the glow plug delay light goes off it will start, but not before.
My first thoughts are:
Bad glow plugs or relay somewhere
Fuel pump not getting the pressure high enough right away (could be pump or pressure regulator?)
Either way I thought I would post here and see if anyone has dealt with this before.
When it first happened there were no codes thrown so I was confused. I went to get the details you asked for and FORScan Lite finally popped with an ICP Sensor Too High and ICP Circuit Range/Performance codes. How hard is this to get to and replace?
I'll get the other information. Right now I only have FORScan lite on my phone. I'm trying to get a laptop setup with full blown FORScan on it, but I'm having difficulty with getting it to install under WINE on Linux.
You are correct, that's 290 rpm. So it maxed cranking rpm at just over 300.
Either way, obviously there's a problem. That's why I'm here. Trying to figure out if it's the ICP sensor that needs replaced or not.
Here's a screenshot of it while idling. The pressure reading has dropped, but the voltage is still high so I think it's ignoring the sensor and running on a preprogrammed map.

Won't start after glow plug delay
