I'm lost at this point...

Motostroker · Jan 26, 2014

95 7.3 f250 auto in the shop.... Customer complained it died going down the road. Brings it in.
-I thought cps, yet the tach is reading 250ish cranking
-checked fuel psi and found 2psi and I replaced the pump.

Truck simply will not start....
-no white smoke out the tail pipe, yet good fuel psi? (around 50 now)
-ICP reading 3200 after extended crank
-tried a new cps
-HPOP is full.
-oil is full
-WTS light comes on
-no codes

How could I check IDM? At this point it's stumping me.

Tomorrow I'll pull VC's and check harness and report back. But shoot some ideas for me to check out while I'm in there and elbow deep

Does the truck have a chip? If so pull it and try again. Any codes? Buzz test?

Batteries/cables good?

Check the fuses, I think the one for the fuel bowl heater can blow and cause a crank/no start.

Had a truck like that in the shop. Tank started to come apart and clogged the screen.

If you haven't yet, unhook the batteries and let it sit a little bit, then hook em up and try again.

And to check the IDM just swap in a known good IDM, all 7.3 IDM's are interchangeable from 94-03.

FPR screen is clean. Fuse number 22 is good. Batteries are brand new, and cables have zero corrosion with good contact. I'll try to swap IDM, and the truck is bone stock with no chip

He wasn't talking about the FPR, he was talking about the in-tank pickup screens.

He has been measuring fuel pressure though.

Didn't see where he took another reading after he replaced the pump. :shrug:

Yep, very first post. It is easy to miss though. I'm with your original idea, it sounds like an electrical problem for it to just die and have no smoke coming from the exhaust sounds like the injectors aren't firing.

Does it even buzz on a buz test? Fuel pressure is in check and hpo is in check but no smoke out the pipe means injectors are not firing.... get it scanned for codes and bet you will find that there is nobody home in the IDM department.
