Need Some Help Please

I have a 2000 Excursion. It's a 7.3 diesel. Check engine light was on and I had to change fuel injectors 1 and 8. Took care of that. I've replaced them before and put everything back together no problem. Fuel pump is fine. I replaced the fuel filter, No air in the line, I replaced the cam sensor. She still won't start. It cranks and with starter fluid it will turn over but then shuts off. I am at a loss and my head is about to explode. Anyone have any ideas?

Oil pressure? Could be the high pressure oil pump.

Moving this over to the 7.3L PSD forum.

You could still have air in the fuel or oil systems. I have read many times that it takes some doing to get it all out enough just to start it. Even more running time to get it all out.

Thanks for all the input. I will try everything tomorrow when Florida weather permits. Hate those afternoon storms.

Starting fluid? Sucks that's what auto zone gave me. And yes he knew it was
diesel
