i have a 97 7.3 psd i replaced the tie rods on labor day let it warm up to take it for a test drive and it stalled backin out of the driveway and hasnt
started since. I replaced the cps, icp
changed the oil, and pulled the
driver side valve cover and
checked the harness (havent had
the chance to check the pass
side) its gettin fuel to the top of
the motor and i can smell raw fuel
coming out of the tail pipe y wont
it start?

 

are you getting a wait to start light? if not check fuse #22 under the hood. it controlls the pcm and the fuel bowl heater can short out and cause it to blow

 

try the fuse #22 under the hood, heater element fuse, once they short they will take out the truck like you turned the key. try that and lets us know

 

did you hit enter at the same exact time as me? a shuttle launch isnt that presice

 

hahaha seriously thinking that! was a little weirded out but great minds think alike!

 

probally got him shocked also. how cool would it be if thats it?

 

sorry guys ive checked and double checked every fuse in the truck and all of them were good

 

do you have a good charge on the batteries? these motors need to spin fast to start

 

yeh had the batt charger on it all night for the past 2 nights (been tryin to start it all day)

 

have you checked the IPR? there is a tin nut that can come loose causing the coil to slide off, especially while backing up and hitting the breaks.

 

where is the ipr located?

 

under the fuel bowl. hang on... ill look for a pic

 

here is a pic without the fuel bowl. the tin nut is what comes loose.

 

thanks man ill have to check it out 2marro and get back with u

 

Even if you checked the fuses, pull the fuel filter out and look at your fuel bowl heater. It will slosh around in there until it contacts the side of the bowl, and it will shut the truck off like the key. It rests on 3 soldier pucks and more often than not, it breaks loose.

Also, while checking the tin nut on the IPR, look at the pigtail wires that go to it. I often see those eaten up by fuel and shorted out. Take a good look at them. And even though you changed the cam sensor, I would not rule it out.
