[QUOTE="PsRumors, post: 1193857, member: 676"] A friend of mine has an early '99 (7/98) 7.3 with 310k miles. He bought it with about 280k miles and no known service history. He has always had a hard starting issue and now the truck is running rough, like it is missing. The missing started about 4 months ago and he had it towed to a shop which diagnosed it with a bad IDM, the IDM was replaced and the truck ran good for about 2 months. Now it is back to a miss. I finally broke down and had him bring me the truck. I don't normally work on his vehicles because he doesn't care for them. He buys high mileage vehicles drives them till he thinks they cost him to much and then sells them. Anyway, all 8 glow plugs were bad, there is the hard starting problem. Did a buzz test using the Car Gauge app. It says #1 injector high side open but it was actually the #2 injector (front driver's side) injector that screamed to high heaven, very loud. All injectors measure 3.5 ohms except the #2 injector (front driver's side) which measured 4.5 ohms. This was using a new wiring harness. So I am certain it is the #2 injector. Can just the solenoid be replaced or should he just bite the bullet, spend the $140 and get another injector? [/QUOTE]
