need a little advice

Need some help with an 01' F350. The problem the engine takes forever to start, does not matter if it's 40 or 90 degrees. The high pressure pump and IPR are new. The oil reservoir is full. While monitoring the ICP, I noticed that it takes longer than normal for the pressure to reach starting pressure. Usually about 6 engine revolutions. Then when it starts it stumbles for about 2 seconds and blows lots of grey smoke (raw fuel). Let me know.

I would make sure your GPR has voltage when you turn the key on. Check the big studs on the solenoid for power on both when the key is first turned on.
