Hot start issue?
Good evening fellow 6.0'ers.
firstly- are all hot start issues related to dummy plugs and stand pipes? Every time I've had an issue its always the dummy plugs.
secondly , is anyone using these?

thirdly, I haven't looked into it, but I might be having a random issue. It fires up fine, but don't hit with as much umph as it should.
I'll try and upload a clip. Nope. Won't work. I'll have to try and take a video.

I haven't tried those didn't plugs. The lack of umph could be injectors, turbo, vgt actuator, low HPOP pressure, and plenty of other things.

I still havent looked at anything on the truck.
the umph is directly related to the possibility of a hot start issue. Typically when ya hit the key it will rev up to 1100 rpm or so and then idles down to 900rpm . It does this in the morning, after the truck as been sitting for a while.
When it fires up warm, it goes right to the 900 rpm. I dont believe it has any lack of power going down the road. Once again, I haven't look at anything on the truck, I'm just pre posting , getting everyone's thoughts on the old girl.

the injectors were almost new. Previous shop had replaced these 4 injectors, HPOP, standpipes and dummy plugs, but still no start hot. The truck then stood for over a year before it was towed to me and I found the issue. In the meantime I had bought the truck from the customer, it is the engine in which I installed my screwable standpipes to test whether my idea would work.

The o-rings were fine. The air escaped from the holes at the top of the injector

It didnt take long to turn into a hot no start. I ordered the above parts from diesel site. I'd be willing to bet that it's the dummy plugs again. I've done them all a few times using OE parts. I still havent looked st the truck. I've been using the trusty 05 5.4 for the last week.
