truck wont start

so far ive been having alotta bad luck with my truck. its a 96 psd with 270xxx miles. i just fixed my oil leak problem which was my hpop leacking everywhere and making the truck run really bad. i replaced the oring and it ran fine. but now, the truck wont even start. it will turn over but it wont fire up. the fuel heater in the fuel bowl broke off. i wasent too concerned about it cause its about 155 degrees outside. so the truck has no fuel heater on it. is why it wont start? any advice is appreciated. thanks

If the WTS light is out you need to replace fuse 22 under the hood

The fuel heater in the bowl is connected to the #22 big fuse under the hood. You prob dont have the wait to part light either. Un plug the heater on the right side of bowl and replace fuse

Agree, if not, check your oil level (how old is it?), the HPOP reservoir level. Are your batteries good? and the starter is spinning as it should?. This beasts need a lot of juice to start.

Yes, pretty sure it is. You can only disconnect it and forget it.

bad12 that was a typo. more like 110 degrees haha but to be honest iam not shure how to even check the injection control pressure.. if that can even be checked.. all i can say is that it turns over but it just wont fire up! and the only light that xomes on is the wait to start light for about 2 seconds and its gone.

does your wait to start light always stay on for only 2 sec? Did you try unpluging the wire that goes to your sensor

I figured lol. Just had to point it. How do you know the hpop oil psi is good. That is what the icp sensor is reading.
