04.5 600 Rough idel at start up.

[BNewman]

Anyone experiance it?

 

[JWerkheiser]

I had it one time in 13000 miles, it happened just recently. Lasted for about 5 minutes then went away. I haven't taken it to the dealer yet but I have run 500 miles since then and all has been OK since.

 

[Rhinohd]

Mine does the same thing. It happens in the morning and smooths out in a few min. I have about 5000 miles...

 

[Apence]

yep mine does it every morning and depending on the temperature it will also blow white smoke with the rough idle. Been to dealer 7 times and still does it

 

[Buzzer]

Mine does it too. It smooths out pretty quickly though so I just ignore it.

 

[swexlin]

Mine has never done it. Pretty smooth as silk, little of no smoke. I have an early build (Jan 04) which has NOT had the TSB for the "flat spot" and white smoke.



We'll see how she does when the weather gets colder.

 

[DKiesewetter]

I had it once around 12k... it has never happened again.

[GCross]

Nope, never done it. But no cold weather here, so maybe that's the trigger.

 

[Apence]

well mine isn't due to cold weather, it does it at 80 but is worse the colder it is

Here's a copy of the TSB. #ad




Might also change the fuel filter.

 

[Apence]

Thanks Klenger but already had the TSB done, fuel filter done every 5k and also been to dealer 7 times, one injector and the fuel rail valve replaced and still does it. Not sure why some do it and some dont.

 

[claymike]

Mine does it every morning bring up the rpm clears right up. Does not do it when the grid heaters come.

 

[Camp]

Mine does is at also. The colder it is, the worse it happens. Does go away pretty quickly though.



Mine was built after the build date listed in the TSB.

Mine has done it a few times I have noticed it does it when i just go out and crank it over and don't wait for the start light to go out even when temps are warm out. So now i wait every time and it hasn't done it since. Might be the rail isn't getting enough pressure and a tiny air pocket(s) are in it?

 

[Rhinohd]

I wait for the start light to go out and it still does it. Should I be worried is my question?

That's the same way mine is.

Could someone tell me about this "Start Light"? Ive never seen a "Start Light" on my 04. Is the a Emission controled state registered truck? I havent seen a "start Light" since I owned a Ford diesel and al Old 5. 7 Oldsmoblie for the Glow Plugs. .

Thanks

Not totally sure it's called a "start light" but its the little coil looking light that comes on when you switch the ignition to on (bottom middle of the gauge cluster). Your Visor should have the starting instructions on it that explain you should wait for the light to go out...

No trouble with my truck. I get it, hit the key and throw it in reverse after I adjust the proprt "tunes" and off I go. Start up lite???? Not in my truck. Hit the switch and off I go.
