Hard To Start???
1995 7.3
About 130k miles.
Sometimes it takes a long time to start.
It's putting out ALOT of smoke, but then it takes several mins to start.
I turn it off and let the plugs glow longer, but it doesn't make a differance.
I just had a couple of glow plugs replaced, the glow plug's relay and a wiring harness.
I replaced the cam sensor about 15k ago.
The shop is just guessing and with my money!
Have any of you ran into this one?
Thanks, Garett

Next cold start (over night) check the level in the HPOP. If it's low the check valve is leaking. Come back here and we can walk you through the repair.
