Hey guys,
Got a buddy with an 07 thats been having a hard start issue the past few weeks. The truck, when cold, will crank for 5-7 seconds or so before it starts. Once it starts, it runs fine- no miss, lope, smoke, etc. Just cranks for a long time. He took it to Ford the other week and of course they said nothing wrong, it cranks within the allowed time. I got a chance to look at it today and checked the glowplugs, GPCM, FICM. Everything read what its supposed to. Could stiction be the cause? Everything Ive ever read involved the truck running like crap as soon as it starts, which this one doesnt do.
Any insight?
