cold hard start of my 1995 powerstroke diesel "Bad glow plug relay"
Cold start of my 1995 f250 powerstroke with a bad glow plug relay I think. I will work fine sometimes. But sometimes it wont work at all. It will eventually start if you keep trying.
6.2 diesel hard start
68F outside temp. Vehicle sitting for 24 hours before startup. Idle is set to high by IP and will drop after a few minutes of idling.
Ford Powerstroke Faulty Injector Wiring Harness
A faulty injector wiring harness on the driver's side cylinders of the engine caused the engine to run the way it did in this video. I replaced both wiring harnesses in case the other one failed. I also replaced all eight glow plugs while I was at it. Runs perfectly now.
-31 Cold Start
A real cold start of my 6.9 IDI, non gated Banks equipped in this one, no glow plug controller either...
Temp as you can see is freakin cold... Truck is plugged in of course. This is a glow plug only start, with a single group 31 battery.
