very stumped. wanna say ECM???

hey i have a 1997 f350 psd. i shut it off one night and went to start it and all it did was turn over but no start. i went through everything has good fuel pressure oil pressure. i replaced the ipr valve which tells the truck to start and stop. replaced the camp position sensor and still the same problem. i wanna say that the injectors just arnt firing, which leads me to believe that it is the ECM. or the Fuel Control Module. any suggestions or anyone who has had similar problem. anything will help. thanks,

Tyler

Did you check fuse 22 under the hood? My truck died last night and it turned out to be that.

That's what I was gonna say. If your wait to start light is not coming on it will almost certainly be fuse #22.

Back to basic's for a second. Do you have a WTS light? Also does the TAC indicate some RPM when cranking?

I like Rick's WAG. I would disconnect the IDM and give a good shake next to your ear. If you hear water it is bad. (I't could also be and not hear water too). Have you any codes?
RPMs generally rules out the CPS and the WTS generally rules out the PCM/ECM

Same thing happened to me this summer. I came home for the night and parked it. The next morning it wouldn't start. I had it towed to the shop and it turned out to be the computer. They did all the things like ck the IPR and ECM and put in a test computer and it fired right up. Might be something to look at.
