2002 7.3 no start

[rhorsers]

I need some help with a 2002 7.3 no start. How many injectors would have to be bad for a no start condition?
Thanks for the help.

1. does the Wait To Start light come on?
2. can you hear the glow plug relay click on & cycle off?

Not saying injectors COULDN'T be bad, but it's not likely given the time of year.

one or two I think.

Any smoke out the exhaust while cranking?

The truck can run on 4. Not good, and you will think something is horribly wrong, but it can run.

There are way too many other things to cause a no start to jump to bad injectors. Simple check list:

Is the oil within full tolerance?
Is there smoke when you crank?
Is the HPOP level w/in 1" of the top?
Can you hear your fuel pump?
Are you below 1/4 tank?

Do you have gauges? if so, more to check

What is the voltage while cranking? If below 10.5, you need a jump.
Are RPM's displaying on your not dash gauge? If not, maybe new CPS. I can't make my '02 not start, and I never checked my CTS RPM gauge when I had a no-start position, but it may show RPM.
What are your IPR and Duty Cycle readings while cranking?

I'm drawing a blank for more, but that should get you started down a good path to figuring it out.
