1996 F-250 7.3 Diesel crank but no start
 

Have replaced valve cover gaskets, glow plugs, ICP, High pressure control pump, IPR valve, ECM,ICM, Fuel bowl heater and switch and IDM. Still having problems getting to start and then stalls when apply gas. Any suggestions? I also do not have access to any testing equipment.

Welcome to FTE! :-wink Have you checked your fuel pressure? There is a valve on the side of the fuel pressure regulator (FPR) that you can use a stick style tire gauge to check the fuel pressure.

Maaybe because you are using "GAS".:-huh }> JK.
X2 welcome. You just arrived to the best forum ever. :-X04. Made what Bill suggested above. :-X22 BTW do you have WTS ligth?

Will try to check fuel pressure. Also what is WTS ligh? Sorry still trying to understand abbreviations and not sure where all the parts are. Is there a good place to look up where parts are on the motor?

WTS light is working. What should fuel pressure be?

Have you replaced the 'crankcase position sensor'?

^^ what he said^^ Ford or IH only.

How many miles on the truck? How old is the oil and is it full? Have you checked/changed the fuel filter? Is/was it black? Notice anything in the fuel bowl? Any injector work ever done?

As I'm sure you know, that's a lot of parts to be throwing at it to try to fix it. This situation shows that testing equipment will pay for itself. Not trying to bash on you, just saying.

minimum 20 psi cranking and 50-70 idle.

Ford or IH? Part store ones are junk.

The IHC/Blue CPS
 

The part oldbird is referring to is: IHC#1876736C91
In case you were wondering, or didn't know.

It's "the blue CPS" everyone talks about.

This CPS offers an advanced timing, and is reputed to make your truck run quieter, smoother, and increase fuel economy with more accurate injection of fuel.

Price is slightly more than your average parts store. Runs 40$ shipped from Improved Blue CPS for 7.3L Ford Powerstroke Diesel
