Just to eliminate a possible, disconnect the harness for the fuel bow heater/water in fuel, and replace fuse #30 under the hood.

 

When you say you have fuel, what does the fuel gauge read?

 

I'm pretty sure enough air is out of the rails by now - assuming the IPR and ICP sensor work (aftermarket or OEM?).

Questions 1 through 5: With the ICP sensor plugged in, is the ICP reaching 500 PSI?

Without the answer to these five questions, there is no question 6 - nor can I offer up any advice.

 

I believe the fuel pump works, the fuel bowl fills with fuel. Water in fuel light doesn't come on after I let the air out of the only fuel line I could get to before work, so that's goods.

 

You never stated what your fuel gauge actually reads.

 

You need 500 PSI or so of ICP, 10.2-10.5 volts from the batteries, about 150 rpm and of course, fuel. You need the ability to monitor the first three things at least, or we are in the dark.

 

I am curious to see where this gets us... Any updates or further questions Komida?

 

Sorry for no response, I didn't see the second page,haha, and I was super busy.. It has a little over a 1/4 tank. I dont have the tool to test the psi. Should I be giving it gas when I try to start it? I was told not to. Today was like 75 sunny and dry out, I got like 6 chug-a-lugs today and it sounded like it really wanted to start for me. I'll try fuse #30 tomorrow. The IPR was BWD and the ICP aftermarket.

 

You pushing on the fuel pedal will not do much except make your foot tired when trying to start it. Is it possible that the foot on your fuel sending unit is broken off and not reaching the fuel in the tank? Have you had stalling or sputtering problems in the past when at or near a 1/4 tank of fuel?

One word of caution for the 7.3, they are notorious for only liking OEM/International sensors. You can/should use a cheap version if you have to get by, but for long term use get OEM from RiffRaff, Diesel O-rings or the stealership.

 

Get more fuel in there if it dont start try what I mentioned on the Super Duty section.

 

I replace the internals of the fuel tank 2 years ago. And I think I am going to get both battery's warrantied for 2 fresh ones and going to get more fuel in it too.

 

I have the 6.o alternator and my batteries are class 65 with 700 CCA.

 

Where you at in Texas?

 

I used some diesel starter fluid and it aaaaalllmmmmooooooost started. Only did it once cause I didn't know if forcing it would be harmful. I need to check and see if my fuel bowl heater is broken too, cant put any money in it till next week.

 

I live about a mile from the cowboys stadium, I can see it as I write this.
