The most common problem is a bad fuel injector but if you haven't already done so--check to make sure your oil level is all the way up to full.Power Strokes use a high pressure oil pump to operate their injectors and if your oil is at a low level it can cause air pockets in the lines going to the injectors.It's not a real common problem but I 've seen it happen maybe 10 times.Another cause is using the wrong kind of oil.Some oils have a tendency to foam at high pressures and can produce air in those same injector supply lines. Good luck!
OK, this is what the StreerRodders face all the time.
1) Pull all the plugs and get new ones ready. 2) Drain the Oil and replace with 10W-30 with new filter 3) Check the water level in the radiator - make sure up to level 4) Put several ounces of sea-foam down each cylinder 5) Hand crank engine over several times 6) Use starter motor to spin over motor several more times 7) Put Spark Plugs back in. 8) Make sure fuel in fuel tank is drained 9) Add new premium fuel - Use an air hose to clean the fuel line to the engine 10) Pump through new fuel by loosening the fuel line by engine and pumping a bunch through - hook back up tight. 11) Try starting engine - 12) If Carb engine use a bunch of carb cleaner in the carb before starting to clean out most or junk 13) Once engine is started monitor oil pressure and temperatures carefully - run for about 10 minutes 14) Stop 15) Drain Oil - replace filter again - put in new synthetic oil - recommend Amsoil 0-30W 16) Drain radiator and flush out - 17) Reset radiator fluid and top off. 18) check for leaks everywhere 19) Start again and drive carefully for 100 miles and you should be good to go.
