<p>[QUOTE="Mahal, post: 12339665, member: 342190"]Hi everyone,</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a 2005 Freightliner Columbia with a 14L d60 engine.

Now in the mornings it starts right up sometimes but takes really long sometimes. So now it's intermittent. Any ideas what it could be? I was also told that it could be TRS and SRS sensors. But if those were bad wouldn't it take long to start every time?? Mine only takes long during the first start after sitting through the night after its started I could turn it off and it will start right up everytime until it sits through the night again.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
