Question guys: 04 LB7, will not start without ether... Ok, here's the scoop. While cranking over the fuel pressure is below cranking minimum. If you use ether, it will start and the pressure immediately climes to the desired. If you don't use ether it will not start, just cranks. Injectors have been tested, no air leaks, and am unable to control pressure with scanner while cranking. Pressure regulator also carries 12 volts the whole time. Any ideas? Could it be FICM? Key switch possibly? Help!!

Sounds like a weak cp3 we had the same problem. A good temp fix is a lift pump do u have one.? It has fixed our problem on one of our trucks and has been runnin good for about ten months so far since my brother lacks the mechanical skill And desire to fix the right way and pull cp3 out

Wont the regulator go wide open if you unplug it? if so see if it'll start.

I would think bad glow plug controller, starting fluid by the way will melt the tips off the glow plugs. Not sure how to test the controller though.

That's what we thought too, but we replaced the gpc and the plugs are working fine. For some reason it's just not getting any fuel while cranking. Now if you use a little shot of ether, it starts and runs fine. No smoke, no sputtering, nothing. Just purrs like a kitten.
