How's it going everybody-
Bought a 90' 7.3 IDI with about 110k on it about a month and a half ago. At first it ran fine, cold start only took a few seconds on the starter, and went down the road great. Drove it a couple hours each day. About a week ago I went to go to a buddies house and I had to lay on the starter twice for about 10 seconds and even gave it a little throttle to get it turned over. Upon arrival at his house, I shut the truck off, waited a few seconds, and it started right up. Worked on his truck for a couple hours, went to leave and sure enough it took the same 2 10 seconds tries to get it going again. Assuming it was a plug issue, I changed all 8 plugs with oem motorcrafts, and fixed an old bullet connector that cracked off in the process. Finished up this morning, went to crank it over, and I cant even get it to come alive. I'm supposed to be leaving for school in AZ in less than 2 weeks and need to get this thing going! Possibly thinking air in the lines or a bad glow plug relay/controller? Any help is appreciated.
