No ETC parameter in any of my reference data. Get the computer hooked up again and get the code, too, along with the sensor (PID) name.

Could also be ICP sensor or maybe EOT (engine oil temp) sensor.

ETC or ECT?, the latter is Engine Coolant Temp sensor and can be the cause for a no-start condition....for gas engines. Our diesels do not have one.

As already stated: IPR o-rings.
When it starts up OK cold but has trouble or will not start when warm/hot it's almost always the IPR o-rings. The hot, thinner oil leaks past the IPR causing a hard/no start.

Thank you so much, can you tell how to find this o ring thing ?
I must tell you, this is a great truck, I have put tires and 2 batt's
in it in 11 year's. It still run's like new, with over 100,000 on it.
If the Ford dealership knew there was NO ETC sensor in this trk,
why did they not say so ? and why did they sell me this sensor ?

We do have an EOT sensor (engine oil temp). If it has failed, it should set one of it's codes. The ECU should use default values if the sensor fails. Shouldn't cause a not start but may inhibit performance a bit if failed.
