im having a problem with my 03 cummins with starting the engine refuses to start when cold unless given a tiny shot of either. it seems as though the fuel is being deadheaded when cold because once it cranks over on the either the fuel is then let in. but when the temp gauge reads over 140 it will start up withing 3-4 seconds. please help no mechanic has been able to fix this or figure out what is wrong, thanks

the only other option is p-pump and its not any cheaper then replacing injectors. I take it you had the injectors bench tested to make sure they were bad. From reading earlier you mite have needed to check your crosover tube torque also.
