if it is doing it only til op temp comes up, ;there is a glow plug problem not heating a cylinder. if it continues , i would venture to say there is an injector dumping too much fuel. also check for coolant loss, and smell the exhaust.

Often, the K&N isn't the best choice for the Powerstroke, as others have seen dust within the intake (after) the filter, thus many go with either a TYMAR air intake system, or AFE by what I've seen.
I have the TYMAR that Dale Isley sells at www.tymarperformance.com which probably thousands of Powerstroke users have, especially on the OBS (old body style) trucks, but many Superduties now have them as well, as they aren't as pricey as the AFE.
Instead of starting your truck once the "wait to start" light goes out...wait a little longer (perhaps 15 seconds or so) and try it then, and see if there is any difference. You might have a glow plug or two which needs more time to heat up enough to fully ignite the fuel in that particular cylinder.
Best of luck..

perhaps there is a broken wire in the valve cover gasket to the glow plugs and not heating the glow plugs OR you arent waiting for the plugs to heat to proper temp. thats my other nickel worth.
