Alternatively, some auto supply stores scan vehicle codes for free. Figure 1.
Why does my Ford truck have a sluggish feel?
Air filters play a crucial part in how your car performs and are directly related to gas mileage and torque. These components are subject to wear and can often get dirty. When they get really dirty, they get clogged, thus preventing the air to flow easily into the engine, which results in a sluggish feel.

7.3L Diesel Rough idle, feels like a bad injector but when at operating temp it runs fine.
The first step in a 7.3 no start is to simply check the oil level. Yes the oil level. Your engine could be low by just 3-4 quarts causing a hard start. Unlike other diesel engines the Powerstroke has two oil pumps. One to lubricate the engine components and the other to operate the fuel injectors. Next lets sit in the driver’s seat.
I have a friend who has a 2000 or 2001 7.3L that has a hard time starting, sometimes to the point it will kill the batteries, after sitting for more than 10 hours. When it does start after sitting, it pukes out a large puff of what I take to be raw diesel (white vaorpish-smoke).
AAAhhh do not use starting fluid on a hard start. If you have only 3 glow plugs working and you use starting fluid on it you are going to cause engine damage very quickly. These are just a few 7.3 Power Stroke problems issues to keep in mind on a crank no start.
What causes a Ford PowerStroke to not start?
If the IPR is 2% higher on one bank then you have a high pressure leak on that bank. 2. If the engine still will not start, dead head the high pressure oil pump and note ICP, it should be over 2500 PSI during cranking.
