Exclamation 2000 start up issues

Well it started two days ago, went out side to start my truck and it acted like it had air in the system or extreamly cold start, it was 72 at 6am. So I crank the dang thing up after the pump shuts down, it starts to cycle like a surg . Well today after i got off work after a 37hour day it was 92 out side and did it again. Well the fuel pressure reads good on my gauge, but when i got to the post office to get my mail, the hard line between the gauge and the test fitting desided to go pop and fuel went every where . So its parked tell i get some more fittings and see if that will fix the issue. But does anyone think that 2 days ago and the fittings exploding diesel all over the road have a connection. Running 15 at an idle and 10 to 8 psi at wot.

I'd think there's a good chance it had something to do with it--but you'll know when you get the lines fixed for sure----chris
