Just Quit

99 F-350, 216,000 mi. Driving down the road came to stop sign and when I started again it died. Will crank and rpm's show but no start. Replaced CPS and no help. Some oil on ICP, cleaned and unplugged still no start. Oil level is fine in motor.

Does your wait to start light come on? If not, check fuse #30 under the dash and replace if blown. Then, before you attempt to restart the engine, open the hood and unplug the fuel bowl heater. It's on the back of the bowl, down low.

Start the engine and drive away. No need to fix the heater unless you want your Water In Fuel light to function.

Remove the top plug from your HPOP and check to see that the oil is within 1" of the top of the reservoir. If your HPOP won't stay full, your engine won't start.

What about the Wait To Start light? If it doesn't come on then your PCM isn't awake.

Do you have a chip installed?

Wait to start light does come on. Had a chip in several years ago but it went bad and I took it out. That has been at least 4 years ago.

Ipr nut tight or still on there? Check all your wire harnesses. They can fray or rub through on the driverside valve cover. Have you done the 50c mod?
