Starting problem 7.3l

littlerobert1983 · Apr 30, 2017

Hey guys got a new problem that started today. I can't get the engine to start without shooting starter fluid in it. It has new injectors, new lift pump, new fuel filter. Doesnt matter if its hot or cold. Any idea what's wrong?

When were injectors installed? If just recently then you need to work the air out

I've driven it about 1,000+ miles since they were changed. I'm confused because after I get it started the thing runs like brand

Turns out it was the glow plug relay, thanks for the help guys. I panicked there for a second!

Yea. Kinda figured else you would have probably blown it up shooting starting fluid into it without disconnecting that.

Well, thank god for that then

Had an issue starting hot as well though? Must be a tired engine...

The glow plug relay should have nothing to do with starting a hot engine.

Expect for your problem to come back.

I'm gonna replace the relay and fuse to see if that helps. Taking them out and then putting them back in gets it to start
