Guess What???? 04 F350 NO START

Ok lets start

Checked all the connections under the hood and bought connection cleaner and still no start!

Unplugged sensor on passenger side.....no start

Unplugged sensor driver side that connects to exhaust....no start

Had both unplugged no start.

Checked batteries from when it quit and one was bad. replaced it ...... no start

Got the starter checked it is good ..... no start

All sounds that it made before it started under the hood are normal..... no start

RPM gauge never moves at all.............no start


Please help with any ideas of what to do next????????

Would anything dealing with glow plugs keep the truck from starting?
Have tired while cold and while its warm out.

does it smoke any color while cranking. no smoke while cranking and no start= no fuel.make sure you have half a tank or better, there have been issues with the fuel pickup not sucking below 1/4 in some cases. going to have to read the codes somehow to do anything more than SWAG

have you tested the FICM yet? If not read here for directions https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/8...procedure.html
How about removing the fuel filter on top of the motor and watch to see if the bowl fills up? there is a no start thread on here that will help you in figuring this out. Read through this https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/8...condition.html

Does it turn over and not fire or does it do absolutely nothing when you turn the key?

Do you have fuel?

What is fuel pressure?

Is oil level correct?

Go to tech folder and go through check list.

If you have a fuel heater at the HFCM, try unplugging it.

Are you getting the wait to start (glow plug) light when you turn the key to the on position?

Have you disconnected both batteries from the ground for about 1 min?
