1994.5 Powerstroke F-350 Flatdeck dually.
The truck has been sitting mostly for a couple of years.
Started it up and drove about 50 miles and it quit .
Fiddled around and kept trying it and it started again and went another few miles and quit again.
Fuel pump?
Where is the fuel pump and how hard is it to change?
Ive heard of some kind of algie growing in the fuel when a diesels been parked for extended periods?
Anyone know about this?
Any other thoughts or ideas?
Doe CPS's go bad sitting , this is a fairly new one in this truck>

What does your filter look like? Is it black? That's an indicator of algae. When it's running, how well is it running? Does it seem to run when cool, but not when hot? Is the oil fresh and/or clean?
The mechanical fuel pump is on top in the middle of the valley behind the fuel filter. Just under the turbo mount. Between 1-10 on difficulty, I think the fuel pump is a 6. I don't think that's your problem, though.
I'd look at the wires running into the valve covers. Look for melted or scorched ones. Also, the IPR could have bad o-rings or a rat chewed through the wires.
Got a code reader? That would help a lot.

Yes! Not only does the oil lubricate the motor, it drives the injectors too. Change it and the filter. I'll wager that gets her going. Let us know.
