Cold Start Detroit

I thought it just wasn't getting fuel, but you could be right. Maybe it just didn't idle up. I'd like to see it if the driver manually idled up.

 

do you cycle it between high and low before you take off? I've found it works better if I do this before I take off in the morning.

 

Not all engines are programed to idle up the same in cold conditions. I have seen the idle set at 900rpm at 33c most are at 760rpm at 33c some Ive seen are 600rpm at 33C. Most are set the same but there are some out there that have weird settings. In the ddec 3-4's many drill out the fitting in the back of the head and the low pressure at idle in the cold does funny things. Not to mention the quality of the reman injectors is not what they used to be.

 

Yea I try that but it just refuses to move when cold like me lol

 

Oh yeah that's true it could also be programming but the sensors can also influence that behaivior as well.
I know what you mean on the reman injectors...its never the same like the original. Its kind of a 75/25 percent gamble
