    air intrusion or bad ip?

    before we replaced the bad line it would lose power at random and then it would have a burst of power. but now i think its fine when driven. just the somewhat hard start and pretty lopey

    now that you say that im pretty sure our buddy that we got the truck from was cranking it alot trying to figure out why it wouldnt start. so i guess all the long cranking he did plus the little bit that i did just killed it.

    truck wont crank

    truck wont crank

    they all looked good. one of the first things we checked, the cables are only a year old and the batts arent that old either. were going to try and clean all the ground connections and go from there, but ill take another look at the battery connections just to make sure. if none of that works...

    1 bad glow plug 7.3

    Well I replaced the 3 bad plugs with the motorcrafts and that fixed it. Truck starts with no ether now. Got the other 5 plugs on the way. And there were autolites in the truck. That would explain why they are bad lol

    1 bad glow plug 7.3

    well i just got done checking them with the meter. same one that was dead is still dead but 2 more showed they were bad aswell. they went to zero and another one was kind of fluctuating between numbers so im pretty sure my trucks got 3 bad plugs and one thats not working as good as it should.

    94 7.3 non turbo wont start cold.

    im not sure how long but i will go out and check in a few minutes. and when the engines cold it will just crank and not fire at all. as far as i know the injectors and pump have not been changed. but i wouldnt think that is the problem because when it runs it runs great.
