SOURCE: olds alero 2.4 idle fuel pressure

most likely idle air control sensor or low engine coolant I know sounds funny but IAC uses coolant to regulate idle. Idle air control valve or throttle body positioning sensor.

SOURCE: rough idle after warm up

I'd take a look at the temp sender...the engines computer may be "thinking" the engine is still cold when it's not. That would cause it run rich (and rough) after it's warmed up. Generally the sender can be tested with an ordinary volt/ohmeter but you will need the specifications available in most inexpensive manuals. As with any complicated electronics system, I can only give you my best guess, without the luxury of doing any hands-on testing myself.
Good Luck!!

1997 7.3 starts idles rough then dies in less than a minute

A 1997 7.3 diesel engine that starts, idles rough, and then dies within a minute can be caused by a variety of issues. Here are a few things to check:
  1. Fuel system: The fuel system is a common cause of this issue. Check the fuel filter, fuel pump, fuel lines, and injectors for any signs of blockages or damage. If any of these components are faulty, they can prevent the engine from receiving sufficient fuel and cause it to stall.
  2. Glow plugs: Glow plugs are used to heat the combustion chamber in diesel engines to aid in cold starting. If the glow plugs are not functioning properly, it can cause rough idle and stalling. Check the glow plug relay and individual glow plugs for proper functioning.
  3. Air intake: A clogged air filter or intake system can restrict air flow to the engine, causing it to run poorly and stall. Check the air filter and air intake system for any signs of blockages.
  4. Electrical system: A faulty battery, alternator, or starter can cause the engine to stall. Check the battery voltage, alternator output, and starter function to ensure that they are all working properly.
  5. Sensors: Faulty sensors, such as the crankshaft position sensor, can cause the engine to stall. Check the sensors for proper function and replace any that are faulty.
If none of these issues seem to be the cause of the problem, it may be necessary to take the vehicle to a qualified mechanic for a diagnostic inspection to determine the underlying issue.

86 ford f250 6.9 diesel takes long to start once

It could be several things. Did you replace your fuel filters recently? If not they could be plugging up with wax, it's that time of year.It could be air in the supply line from the tank and filters. It could be a malfunctioning fast idle solenoid or a fuel solenoid. The best thing to do would be to pick up a copy of Haynes Diesel Engine Repair Manual, part #10330. It has an excellent service section on the 6.9 and 7.3 diesels, including diagrams and diagnostics.

2003 F250 Super Duty diesel 6.0 needs multiple tries to start.

Are you getting white smoke or no smoke from the exhaust after failed start attempts?
When the FICM was replaced, did Ford check the glow plugs and injectors for proper operation?
Are you using an engine oil heating element or is the engine dead cold when this happens?
How long does the engine run the first and second start attempts before it stalls and dies?

Engine turns over on my 2003 Jetta 1.9L TDI but does not start. New battery , all lights are working. Changed fuel fillter and put diesel in it to wet it, but still does not start. It did start once and...

When were the glow plugs last changed?

They sit over the cylinder like spark plugs and warm the diesel before it goes into the inlet manifold, greatly assists starting.
