Message: [QUOTE="cgrnh, post: 167937, member: 3996"] Hello All, I have a question about my truck, It is a 2000 Ford F250 with the 7.3l Power Stroke. My issue is this, If I do not let the truck warm up it falls flat on its face and stalls and then becomes very hard too restart. Once it restarts it runs rough and smokes for a couple of minutes. Once the truck has come up too normal temp it is fine. I had this problem a couple of years ago and took it too the Ford dealer and had them replace the CPS which at the time took care of the problem. It has started again so I purchased a CPS from the local parts store and that did not fix the problem. After doing some reading I found that with the local parts stores it was a crap shoot as too whether or not the CPS would be good. So I purchased one from the Ford dealer. I just put the new sensor in and that did not fix the problem. It did get rid of the rough idle issue I was having. I read somewhere that it could be the warm up valve on the engine that could possibly cause the issue. Unfortunately I have been unable too find this valve and try wiring it in the open position. I am also unsure if that would actually cause the issue. I would not normally care but I am a Volunteer Firefighter and when a call comes in I need too be able too get in the truck and go. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You Chris Robinson 2000 F250 7.3l Power Stroke [/QUOTE]
