    I got a 2007 International maxxforce 7. The truck has had 0 engine issues for a year. I got no lights on.

    Issue
    Every morning when I start my truck I have not much power to the point it will only go 5 mph up a hill. It maxes out at 1800 rpm. It will stay like that all day if I dont restart it. What I do is drive down the road for 10 minutes, pull into a parking lot, restart and boom lots of power and will go to 2500 rpm. If I restart after driving for say 5 minutes it wont work.

    Some clues
    • I changed the oil/fuel/air filter and it happened about 4 days later.
    • Its been like this now for 2 months.
    • It hasnt gotten any worse or better
    • It needs the same amount of time till I restart except for a really cold day I had to drive 5 minutes more.
    • The oil pressure gauge and ecm reads 88 psi but it has read that for 10 years now I guess
    • I changed map/mat sensors as they were gross. I changed the lifter pump too. Just acts of desperation
    Any ideas much appreciated
