How long do you have to crank the engine before the engine starts?
On two separate occasions in the last couple of months, I had to crank the engine for a long time (30 seconds or more) before the engine would start. After each of these occasions, it began starting normally again until my recent problem.
When does the long crank start on a Cummins?
Long….. Long Crank when starting Long….. Long Crank when starting Location:Vancouver, WA. Need your help. I started having the long crank issue 2 months ago. I was still on the original batteries and had read somewhere that as they go they will still turn the engine over but not have enough to send the signal to the fuel system.
Why does my car make a long crank when starting?
The reason for this is that the fuel viscosity is lower when the engine is warm also the clearances in the engine (injectors, CP3) are bigger causing more leakage. The CP3 needs to make 3000 psi in the rail before the computer will fire the injectors for a start. The case that is being described here is backwards from most cases I have seen.
How long does it take a Ford PowerStroke to start?
About a week ago, my truck started taking a long time to start while cranking. So far, it has started every time. However, it takes anywhere from 10 to 30 seconds to start. It used to start after a couple of seconds. If I turn off the ignition and start it again, it doesn’t seem to take as long to start, but still longer than usual.

When to run the fuel pump before cranking the engine?
Some systems will run the fuel pump for a short period when the drivers door is opened or when the key is turned to the ignition stop before being turned to crank. If this isn’t happening for some reason, you may be having to wait until the fuel pump provides enough pressure at the fuel rail to start the vehicle. My vote is for the injectors.
When does my Car start in the morning?
My car has done more than 300,000 kms, she starts perfectly first thing in the morning. After I leave it running for a while, it most of the times (throughout the day) takes about 5 seconds to crank before actually starting. Once started it runs fine. Note: this happens intermittently throughout the day.
How big is the FICM on a Ford PowerStroke?
Two things about the FICM: 1) A FICM is a fixed output device. You can think of it like a battery, really. An electronic battery. So, yours is a 58V FICM that is running at 45.5V at times, according to your monitor. Using the battery analogy… you have 12V batteries that are giving you 9.4V (12*45.5/58).
