My 2001 7.3L Powerstroke has been intermittently taking a long time to start. This morning, after sitting for a week she won’t start at all - previously, she would start if I had it plugged into the block heater long enough.
When it is having a hard time starting, I can hear a rattling noise that sounds like it may be a solenoid that is not fully engaging. The rattling appears to be comming from the waste gate solenoid. Does this open the waste gate or close it? Could this be the cause of the hard starts?
