My 02 F35 7.3 wont start shut it off on wednesday before Thanksgiving was running just fine. Got in it on Monday to go to work wouldnt start and still wont. Finaly got a code reader, called Auto Zone they say it recommends replacing the ECM is that the brain over the drivers side tire in the fender well or is it someplace else?

Why would they say that? Did you retrieve a code that lead them to that decision? And just my opinion, Auto Zone is not the best source of info. What kind of code reader did you get?

Don't buy anything yet, Got a feeling it's something simple like a blown fuel bowl heater fuse, or some other things not so serious.

Yeah, try to start it, it won't drive like that, but it could start and tell you if that's the problem, but if there is oil under the plug, the chances are good that's the problem
