problem starting
Sometimes when I want to start up my truck (2004 F250 5.4) it will almost start but sounds like its struggling. In order to get it started I have to turn it over and press the gas pedal at the same time then it starts and all of the pins (to the speedometer and odometer etc) go over to the right and then go back to normal.. Could this be spark plugs?

when mine did that ('00 F250 5.4) I replaced the fuel filter and that fixed the problem, and I had to give the gas pedal a push to give it stated too)
now for not even turning over i would say the battery, but could also be numerous things too.

Check here (https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/6...s-not-err.html). Very similar situation. Wound up being the alternator. Although it could just be the battery.
