No WTS Light, No Start

Goodmorning all,

I went out to start my truck this morning and it started fine as normal. I put my TS performance chip in high idle mode and went inside. I came back out and the truck was off. I went to start it again and the wait to start light doesnt come on and it just cranks but doesnt fire. I had to get to work so I didnt have any time to try and diagnose the problem but I was hoping someone may have had a similar problem and could help me out.

Truck is a 2000 7.3L it has a GTP38r turbo, TS performance 6 position chip with stock tunes, 5 inch exhaust, 6637 filter intake. Thanks guys

Sounds like the classic fuel bowl heater short blowing the 30 amp fuse. Check for the blown fuse and if so, unplug the electrical connector at the fuel bowl and then replace fuse.

thanks for the reply, I was super frustrated this morning and just put this post up hoping someone could help, I have been looking around the forum and found that this is probably exactly what is wrong, shouldve searched first before I put this up. I am going to try this when I get home from work today. Thanks for the help!

Yes sir. A fair amount of us just unplug the connector, tape it up if you want, and let it hang to prevent a short and down time on the side of the road.

Well that fixed it, I replaced my #30 fuse and unplugged the fuel bowl heater and it fired right up. Thanks again for the help!
