First off, I have been searching the forums for a match to this problem, with no results, so I thought I would describe the problem and see if it strikes a chord with another member.
I have a '98 6.5TD and a '00 6.5TD, both engine code F's in 310 (135.5 wb utility) chassis, both high mileage (220,000+) and they have both recently started having an intermittent problem. Most times they will start and run perfectly, but occasionally they will turn over great, fire once, then continue to turn over with no start. This can happen hot or cold. The starters turn them over fast, the batteries are new, and the grounds are good. Generally if you leave it alone for 20 minutes or so, it will start and run just fine. Both trucks have remote FSD's with coolers, the lift pumps work fine and once running, and other than this problem, run great. We have switched out FSD's when the problem occurs, and still no start. I have loosened a injector connection and it gives one quick squirt of fuel and then nothing. Then you wait a while and they start up and run like always with no stalling problems. These trucks are driven approximately 100 miles 7 nights a week and have had no problems, other than this. Trucks are stock, with original turbos and IP's, and have been maintained in a fleet environment. I have not had a chance to check for codes, but will do so tomorrow and post results.
Any thoughts?
