Start up and smoking problem
Hi everyone, and thank you in advance for your help and responses.
2003 F350 7.3 PS<?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = O /><O:p></O:p>
I have been having a startup issue that just started in the past few weeks,<O:p></O:p>
When it is cold out let say below 40 degrees if I don't have my truck plugged in I have to cycle my glow plugs at least three times and if I am lucky it will start.<O:p></O:p>
But when it don't start which is most of the time I cycle them again try it over, as I am cranking there is white smoke coming from the exhaust and from under the hood, I stop cranking and then I wait for about ten to twenty seconds and I hear a " PWOOOFF" sound and white smoke shoots out of the exhaust, now mind you the noise and the white smoke are before I try to turn over the engine again, I am just sitting there. Then when I do turn over the engine it starts and a ton of smoke both white and black pile out until the truck warms up a bit.<O:p></O:p>
If I have my truck plugged in all is fine and no problems.<O:p></O:p>
What is the problem and what can I do to fix it? <O:p></O:p>
<O:p></O:p>
Please help<O:p></O:p>

Thanks<O:p></O:p>
