If you have SOMETHING to add... but when you add nothing but bring up a 5 month old thread...
Just sayin...

ok i have a 99 7.3l turbo diesel and i have recently been having alot of trouble getting it started. i know that starter fluid is bad for diesel so before everyone tells me..i already know..i have checked the hpop..not the problem, gpr, not the problem, glowplugs...not the problem. i know i have a slight fuel leak from the check valve that drains the water from the fuel..could it just be low fuel pressure? but when i shoot it with starting fluid or wd-40 it starts right up and runs perfect. o..and the check engine light randomly pops on only while im driving tho and especially when i punch the pedal...please helppp!!
WHAT HAPPENED????

7.3 powerstroke no start without either
first time to post and i admit im lost..i have a 1996 f-350 with a 7.3l
im having the same issue with my truck it will not start without a shot
of brake clean.been doing this for about a week trying to get into a shop
i trust in my area to scan my codes.this started after a 40 mile run doing
75 mph...and by the way its got a e4od trans as well.always been kinda
rough to start when at operating temp but it would start.i use rotella 15w40
engine oil with a gallon of lucas because it makes me feel good not sure if
the truck likes it but it never says anything bad about it.i have replaced
one injector last may and it runs ok.seems to idle rough .i replaced the glow
plug relay today with high hopes . no better dont have any fuel leaks and
i dont see any oil in the intake valley.change my oil every 3k mabey over
kill but again makes me feel good.and the truck has 322k on it. help
oh and just in case it matters i added new motorcraft glow plugs and
harness at injector replacement.batterys are hot and she turns over
with out any issue.

Bob with 322k on the clock, your injectors are about done.
The hard starts when warm indicate HPO (high pressure oil) leak, likely injector o-rings. You can get a bluetooth OBDII adapter and the TorquePro app and scan your own codes for less than any shop will charge. Finding a shop that knows much about a 7.3 can be tough. Not even the dealers know them.
Welcome aboard.
