Need Help!

I have a ford 2006 350 diesel V8 and until recently my truck has been running great. The last few times, when I start my truck in the morning she turns over great and same with the end of the day. I've noticed that if I've been driving for 15 -20 mins and stop somewhere for a 1/2 hour to an hour and try to start the truck she wont' start. She sounds like she wants to but doesn't. If I let her sit for about 3 hours then she will start? What could be causing this? I've made an appointment with the dealership but it will be a few more days before I get her in. Also the check engine light is now on (yellow). When I do a system check it says everything is great.

Sounds like an HPOP to me. Welcome to the forum!

Sorry Kimmybaby (man, I hope that you are a girl, because the thought of me calling a guy Kimmybaby... lol) , I should have mentioned that. HPOP is the High Pressure Oil Pump system.

Welcome to the forum Kimmybaby, The HPOP price is one of contention, some places are more than others, there are quite a few guys on here that can help with that, last year I paid @1900.00 for a complete turbo, HPOP, IPR valve with a warranty so I think it was not to bad. Good luck. STG

I am guessing you may just have an STC fitting on the HPOP leaking and ready to fail. That would be lucky, and less expensive to repair.

Either way, your warranty is 5 years or 100k miles, so you are likely still covered unless you are over on miles.

Yup, my guess too. How many miles do you have on it?
