Default 1999 7.3 power stroke

Hi I'm new to the ford gang. I have a power stroke 7.3 and its sputtering when I start in the morning. I've changed fuel filter air filter. I also checked fuel pump. Everything seems fine. I still cannot find the problem. Please help.

If it is getting worse as the temp drops and is also getting harder to get started , it is time to check the glow plug system. Common problem was the glow plug relay on the top of the engine. There could also be one or more defective glow plugs.
