1995 7.3 No Start
I have a 1995 F250 7.3 that I died on me going about 90 mph down the interstate the other night. I towed it home and cranked it over and the tach would not register, immediately suspected the cam sensor, so I replaced it and it did not fix anything and my tach still will not register. I figured the sensor might have just been defective, so I replaced it with another one and still nothing. Pulled the connector off and have been testing it and my ground is fine and I am getting power on my 5 volt wire, but then I tested my 5 volt wire and I am getting a ground there too with the sensor unplugged all of the time so I tested my ground wire and my 5 volt wire and they have continuity so they are making a connection somewhere, I don't know if this is normal or not so I wanted to ask you guys before I went ahead and started tracing the wires back, because I don't think it could be my pcm because my wait to start light works and my glow plugs are hitting and I am getting fuel and oil pressure its just that it won't start and I am not getting a reading from my tach when I turn the engine over, and it has a fuel bowl delete so no it is not the fuel heater she is long gone. My question is my wiring normal or did the wires make a connection somewhere in my harness? Thanks guys any help is appreciated!

Last time I checked... You're hot wire would have to have continuity to ground if you shorted your meter between the 2... That's how electricity works... Common ground, flow of electrons. etc etc. P=E X I, E= I X R.... etc
How are you checking for continuity, have you pulled any codes, have you looked up a schematic?
