QSB 4.5 NOT START

Sounds rough but spray SOME solvent into air intake on crank and will start ok........afterwards starts and stops ok! I've changed speed/position sensors, fuel pumps, ecm's, starter motors, injectors, lift pumps etc. but nothing works! Not sure why they respond so poorly to load on startup.

Sound like that is potentially hard on the starter too. Maybe try to avoid having engine load while cranking?
