Hi and HELP! Every morning my 1992 E350 with a 7.3 is air bound. I dont like cranking it untill she primes up. Is there some wisdom out there that can help?

Thanks for the reply!

She starts up and runs for 2 seconds and stalls. Then I need to crank for approx. 30 seconds(some times more) before she will re fire. Once she restarts she good to go... I have no fuel leaks on the pressure side, I have herd about a problem on the return side that under certain conditions will let air in without dripping fuel.

ok I typed out a long response then realized that your van is an IDI engine presuming it is still stock. I'll suggest heading over to Oilburners.net, there are far more IDI savy folks over there who can point you in the right direction.
