cold starting your truck

[RLDSL]

I put a different starter on mine, cranks plenty fast, still doesn't start worth a ****.

Today it was around 10F. Cycled twice, it sputtered two times then nothing. Cycle again, sputters once and thats it. It will only kick once every time you cycle the plugs. Somehow after probly 10 tries it started but I was standing outside the truck and didn't get my foot on the pedal fast enough and it died. Then after recycling the plugs it wouldn't even fire.

I got the battery charger out, left it for about 20 minutes, came back, cycled plugs once, cranked about 10 seconds and it started.

I don't know what to do anymore, I assume all 8 plugs work, they stay on for 15+ seconds. Starting to wonder if controller is going bad again. How many volts should I have coming out of the relay? Is it 6 or 12?

Sounds more like an air intrusion issue.

its not the controller. my controller was bad with 8 good plugs and it cycled for 5 sec.
