no fuel on cold start??
this is my first winter with this truck bought it in july this year...here's where i'm at with my nightmare... aka 99 f-350, changed glow plugs, relay, fuel filter, 2 batteries and 5w-40 rotella synthetic... the only mods the truck has that i know of is 6637 air filter because old air box would leak dirt into intake, found that on gp change. and muffler delete... to lower egt's when towing 16,000 pd trailer. after sitting 8 hours or less(not plugged in) will start (very stubburnly) even did this at 50 deg temps and will misfire for a good half hour even well into operating temp. after sitting for 12 hours or more: no start no smoke from tailpipe while cranking. if plugged in it will start relatively easy but still misfires but not as suverely. i checked all maxi fuses with test light under the hood all checked good. when cranking it seems like only 1 or 2 injectors are firing. if i use either to start it seems to run on it till it picks up fuel...checked the hpop res. it stays full overnight checked fuel filter also full overnight i am going out to recheck hpop and fuel filter now...

i'm not asking too much from this diesel... my cat 3406b fires on the first try and my friend has a 99 250 and i get laughed at when attempting to start mine we park next to each other at work, very embarresing well have to drag it down to the shop with the tractor and a chain put the charger on it... what kinda rpm you need while cranking to get these pigs to fire??? maybe starter is week??? i heard one guy say his tach registers 500 rpm mines about 200 or so

It would cause a no start period. With the thing misfiring up to half an hour after you start it and an entirely new glow plug system, I'm assuming you have a starting problem...not just a cold starting problem.

with the icp sensor unplugged it started on the 3rd try this morning and had enough smoke from the tailpipe in my opinion after sitting outside all night in about 20 deg with a good 20 mph wind! this is better than ever before!!! you know your stuff cookie!!
now i'm just worried if i put a new one on it will go back to normal it never had the ses light come on till this morning shouldnt a bad sensor trip the light?? at least it starts

would a flash or chip help my cold start and give more fuel while cranking or just make it worse??? i was leaning towards dp tuner real cheap and seems to have impressive mpg on 80hp economy setting just looking to make the truck start and run a little better another quick question does the aih come on with the glows or just after its running not sure if mine is working and it needs all the help it can get... thanks again cookie i know it can be diffacult if not impossable trying to diagnose a problem just from limited descriptions on a forum

You may need to clean your IPR (HPOP regulator valve).
