New starting problem

Hey everyone. I need help from you guy again.
I've got a 97 F350 Power Stroke.
Sometime when I start my PS it seems to only hit on about half of the cylinders.
There was a post a while back about this I think. They said it was starting too quickly. On mine I can hold the throttle down about half way and it will clear up. Is this the same problem?

Probably you have one or more bad GP's. Could be the UVC Harness or connectors. Also could be the GP relay. Check all those first.

Thanks. I will check that. But it seems to happen more after the truck warms up. Not very often on first start up. Does that seem Glow Plug related?

I had the codes run this morning. No memory codes but a soft code on the
" Exhaust Pressure Control Valve "
What and where is that and would that be related to my problem?
Thanks everyone in advance.
