fuse 30 blew- engine died.
99 f250, 7.3 L started up yesterday just fine ran a little rough drove two blocks and when accelerating engine sounded like it was missing and suddenly the engine stopped. engine will crank but no start, and the "wait to start" light is not illuminating as usual. fuse #30 blew. replaced the fuse and it blew as soon as turned on the ignition. 30 amp circuit runs the fuel heater, wastegate solinoid, and Injector Driver Controller. Anyone experienced this issue...haven't had a real chance to really do any troubleshooting on it yet but my guess is it the injector driver. Thanks.

Even if it doesn't usually get cold enough to gel the fuel where you live, (plugging the fuel filter and starving the engine) it is also your WIF "Water In Fuel" sensor... Without it you could potentially have enough water buildup to damage your injectors, or minimally make the engine run like crap.

Thats why I gave him the link on how to rebuild the fuel bowl. It will show him that the connection operates the heater and also is the sensor for the WIF light.

I disagree on it not being necessary.
Even if it doesn't usually get cold enough to gel the fuel where you live, (plugging the fuel filter and starving the engine) it is also your WIF "Water In Fuel" sensor... Without it you could potentially have enough water buildup to damage your injectors, or minimally make the engine run like crap.

Good advice!

Thanks for the info..that will def. save me time. too bad they run a circuit to a non essential that shuts down the entire engine.. had a camero one that did that....when the fan blower went bad it would blow the fusible link and shut her down....

I don't see how it would throw a code it is the same wire being unpluged, just a different place. People with regulated returns don,t get codes
