fuel problems powerstroke
Just happened the other day driving down the road an it just went dead no sputter or chuging just died. A buddy has a 2000 and his fuel bowl heater went out and tooke the 30 amp fuse . So i check that it sounds like pump is working and when i pulled the filter off the top by water seperator it had press. and there is fuel in the bowl. I have 911 diesel service in the tank an in the filter. when i try to start it turn s over fine but i noticed that there is no smoke or even smell like normial at the tail pipe. any ideas. I am open for any an all ideas. Thanks for your time.

Your profile says your truck is a 99.
Check to see if your tach moves while cranking. If the tach doesn't move while cranking, it's a failed CPS. The CPS is one of the most common causes for a truck to suddenly and without warning die, and not start again.

Pocket (likely) has you covered. If you need a new one, first I would check and see if you've had the recall done for the CPS. The recall gives you a new "grey" CPS as a 'fix'.... if you can get that freebie, get it. If not.. you'll have to buy one. Even if you get the free one, I'd still buy a "black" CPS - your truck will thank you for it.

Did you check your fuses? The reason your buddies truck died when the fuel bowl heater shorted out is because that fuse also powers the truck computer. No computer = not running.
If it died suddenly, also check to see if the tin nut came off the back of the IPR.

The tin nut holds the IPR together, but it is rather flimsy. It is a rare occurance that that would happen, but possible. The IPR is a valve that lets oil into the heads or lets it drain back to the pan. It also varies the pressure that the injectors see from the HPOP by regulating the drain back rate. An intact IPR will not cause a sudden shutoff, but can contribute to hard starting for sure.
Sounds like CPS to me also.
