    but when it has been ran and got to running temp it will just turn over and not fire... let it sit 20 minutes and it fires up like a brand new truck..It isn't losing prime... it isn't running rough...doesn't miss.. The only thing I can figure is the ecm is not telling the injectors to pour fuel...or I have a wire breaking down going from the ecm to the fuel pump or the injectors......I checked the fuel filter for fuel...I sprayed starting fluid and it fired for just a second and died.. I also checked the ecm wire from the batteries to the ecm...

    When warm does it turn over at the same speed as when cold?

    Is this a thing and if so how complicated is it to swap them out and set them up?
    I'd like to do this on my truck, same motor. Thanks
