When does a truck run rough on a cold start?

It generally happens in the morning or when the truck has sat for a few hours. It starts just fine, but shakes and idles rough untill I press on the accelerator, then seems to run/idle just fine. I have repalceded fuel filter, plugs and cleaned the MAF and IAC at regulare service intervals. One last note, I may be loosing coolant.

How does the enrichment Cold Start Process Work?

This is the enrichment cold start process. This is done with what is called a cold start injector which injects more fuel into the motor until the engine reaches a specific operating temperature.

Why is my car hard to start cold or runs poorly?

Those are your main causes of cold start enrichment failure. I suppose a fuel pump could be weak, and not be able to deliver enough fuel. Or a fuel pressure regulator could be going out. Generally speaking, any other cause of poor running/a hard start cold would also cause problems while the engine was warm.

Why does my vacuum have a hard cold start?

Repair the vacuum leak, and you may just have fixed your hard cold start, or poor cold running condition. Another common cause of a hard cold start, or poor running while cold is dirty intake valves. Over time intake valves become coated in a black gooey substance.

Why does the EGR only run rough when cold?

As for why it only runs rough when cold Im not 100% sure on that. The EGR can get clogged after a lot of miles on a car. It might be that there is thick sludge in there and when its cold its not allowing much recirculated air through. But really not sure. Now accepting bribes.
