I have a 1997 f 250 5.8L. It sets most of the time. Up until this week end it would start fine then on Saturday it would not start so I got it into the shop and played with it and when it warmed up a little it started. Yesterday it would start so I had it scanned but no codes came up?

Check fuel pressure. Check for spark. Check for codes. Make sure all grounds and connection are clean and solid.

It wont start when cold. After I get it started it will run fine all day with many starts. The next morning it will not start. After the sun is on it for a couple of hours it will start. I cleaned the cables and checked for codes and there are none.

Check for soft codes. Check fuel pressure when cold. Check the cold start valve/injector for proper operation.
