Ok my 01 f250 wont start, fuel pump has been test and is fine. I am getting no pwer at all to the fuel system. any advice or help would be apprecaitied

 

on the top of the passenger side kick panel is a hole. stick your finger in the hole, and feel for a button. push the button and it should start.
if it is not the fuel pump inertia switch, there is also a relay in the system. not sure where it is on the 01 , but the 2000 it is in the dash roughly in the area of the radio.

 

Moved to the 1999 - 2003 7.3L Power Stroke Diesel forum.

 

Are you getting a WTS(wait to start) light at key on?

 

Have you checked fuse (30)(i have replaced fuses that look good but tested bad with a meter). The bowl heater and pump share the fuse. Disconnect the bowl heater, replace the fuse and try to start.

 

the engine controle computer was bad. figured that out when i hooked a diagnos tool up to it and it wouldnt communicate. all good now.

 

Well thanks for reporting back...That actually seems pretty odd, it's also Why I asked if you were getting a Wait to Start Light.

The fuse for the fuel bowl heater is also the same fuse for the PCM relay, if you do not get a WTS light the PCM doesn't have voltage to it.

Other situations that will cause a scanner to not be able to communicate is the power for the OBDII port is powered through the fuse for the cigarette lighter.

Either way glad you got it fixed, did this PCM have a chip on it by chance?

 

yea I have 2 of these trucks both are the same quad cab 4x4 with 7.3. olnt difference is one is a xlt and ones a lariat, I have a 01 and a 03. I pulled the pcm out of the 03 and put it in the 01 and it fired right up. the big deal was finding the right one for my 01. Im fairly new to the diesel trucks as I have always had fx4 f150`s and lariat`s and one other f250 v10.

 

They can fail, I wasn't saying they can't...sounds like that was your problem though. Good to have another truck handy to swap parts.

Glad you got it worked out
