TRUCK WON'T START

[bearf250]

I have been having trouble with my truck starting lately. It had been starting good but would on;y run for about a minute then it would die. Then I started pluging it up and that would help some but you would still have to let it warm up before you go anywhere. Well yesterday I went to start it and the wait to start light wouldn't come on and when I tried to pull the codes it said no response.
Some body help please

Is the rpm needle bouncing when you try to start?

ooh i was just gonna make a topic on the problem of starting and then dying withen a few miniutes of you took off right away. the temp here this morning was about 30deg and i dont think it was a fuel problem because i was able to get it restarted and then let it idle at a high idle for a minute (foot on the accelarator to about 1.5k rpms) then there was no problem.

NO the RPM don't bounce around. I can hold my foot on the accelerater and it will run for a little bit then die anyways

sounds like your Cam Position Sensor. (CPS) They are realatively cheap. It takes about 20 mins to replace em. There's a wiki on here somewhere about it. Good luck, and welcome to SDD.com.

Try running a lighter oil.. My wag would be the injectors are using the oil in the Resevoir, faster than the LPOP can work the colder , heavier oil...

Some reading on the subject...Click me

Scroll down to # 5 it talks about the LPOP....
