Message: [QUOTE="Patoka, post: 1282111, member: 23230"] Alright guys, i know it says Im a newbie, but i had to make a new email and account since my old email was tied to my previous place of employment.... :offtopic. Anyways i have been all over the internet reading about cold start issues with our trucks. I just picked up my new to me 7.3 over the summer and it ran amazing... now with cold weather coming around i went to fire her up for work this afternoon, 56 degrees out. after cycling the plugs i tried to fire and nothing.. i cycled 4 times back to back and tried, got it to pop and run then it died. So i cycled 2 more times got it to pop and gave it fuel till it worked thru it and idled. well now sitting here at work tonight (6pm to 6am) im wondering if its going to start when i get outta work... ughh.. anyways i know that i need to check the relay and rule that the cause or not then if the relay is good i need to take the connector out of the valve cover and test the 4 wires on each side 2 in the front and 2 in the rear. yada yada yada... my question im asking is if my relay was bad (witch is what im really hoping) would my wait to start light still act normal? staying off for 10ish seconds then shutting off? Or if my relay was actually bad the wait to start light would be screwy as well and i better just prepare to do glow plugs. ? thanks in advance guys....(and gals) Travis:toast: [/QUOTE]
