Can't get truck started need help!
Alright so yesterday I replaced the fuel pump in the truck. Started it up and she ran fine. I did this about 3 times and I raced it up all checked out fine. So the next day I went to go start it and I noticed the wait to start light didn't come one. So as of now all the truck is doing is cracking. So I checked all the fuses all where good.unplugged fuel heater bowl and changed cam sensor. Still nothing. So I have a scan tool and I plugged it it and it keeps saying that now power to PCM so it will not read. Can anyone help me here? Thanks


It's a 1996 f-250 7.3l powerstroke no mods all stock and 260,000 miles auto

Fuse 22 under the hood fuse box. You said the fuses all looked good, but that one is more than likely blown. 30amp maxifuse.

Not wait to start light means that the PCM is turning on. It could be a bad wire or a bad PCM
