No START!???!
2001 F250 7.3l turbo diesel. Motor acted like it ran out of fuel-and then no start. discovered oil reservoir in front of fuel filter was not full of oil, i attempted to fill it up and realized that the oil was going directly into oil pan. could this be the cause of engine not trying to start? and if so why would oil not stay in reservoir?
please help. At the same time i discovered the electric fuel pump on from under driver side does not come on when trying to start. I ran a jumper wire to run it and pressurize and get fuel to the filter. Checked all fuses several times-they are all good. Totally Baffled!!! Any ideas would be great! Thanks~Salena

Thanks guys for your help!! I got my hands on a PCM and swapped it with the existing unit and low n behold the darn truck has the WTS light and tried to start. My new issue is something with the ignition. When I turn the key on and wait for WTS light to go out and then try to start I get no power at solenoid, but all functions work. When I jump across the post I can get it to try and start so my issue now is finding what is causing the ignition problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.
