wont start

2001 F350 V10 cranks over but does not fire. I put some starting fluid in to check if it is a fuel problem or ignition. It did not fire. It does not throw any codes. Hopefully someone has an answer.

no...sounds like a wiring issue if this happened before..or maybe a starter issue.

If you have all electrical working try tapping on the starter and see what happens.

Maybe a flat spot on it.

Same problem here

Sounds just like my F250. It runs great when it starts, but a few times in the last couple weeks it has a hard time firing and starting to run. Never done this in the first 130k miles. Starter turns engine over fine, but sometimes doesn't fire at all or runs @200 rpm then stalls, or it runs perfectly, and has not triggered Check Engine Light. I have gotten so used to starting vehicles without pressing gas pedal, but the last time it happened I tried that and it started. I would really like to hear what your problem turns out to be, so please post if you solve it.
