starting problem

once in a while when starting my 2005 f-350 power stroke, it cranks for a long time, then when it starts it idles at about 300 rpm , it wont respond for about 1 to 2 minutes then it runs fine. this only happens occasionally but it seems to be more frequent lately thanks shaun harrington

How old is the engine oil? When is the last time you changed both fuel filters? Has the check engine light come on?

Fuel filters should be changed around 15k miles. I've seen a 6.0 towed before due to a clogged fuel filter down at the frame rail with around 50k miles on the filter.

Start with the filter change to be on the safe side. Be sure to use Motorcraft or Racor filters to avoid some of the problems known with the "will fit" aftermarket filters.
