Hi everyone, for the last week or so when my truck is cold it lopes for a bit until the coolant temp gets up to about 100 degrees. At idle the rail pressure bounced around from 4.1 to 4.6. I've noticed that at WOT it won't hold full rail pressure either. I changed the fuel filter and had my balance rates tested at a shop. They all tested within spec. It had been in the 40s and 50s in the morning when I start my truck so it's not all that cold outside. Any ideas???

Says he just changed it.

Op, I had a sticking fpr that would cause max rail pressure at idle. I ran 2 cans of sea foam through the tank and a quart of 2 stroke oil and that cleared it up. Held the rpms at 2000 for about a minute and haven't had any issues in 3 years.


Treed... try some 2 stroke oil next

Ok so today I went to start it and it wouldn't start. It had lost its prime. After priming it a couple of times I got it to stay running long enough to move it in the driveway.
