2008 E450 van 6.0 no start. Code P1260

I just bought this van non running. It was an ambulance and the box was removed.

I understand PATS was an option for the 2008 model year Econoline vans. Although one Ford dealer believes it doesn't have PATS after reviewing the VIN, it has the Anti-Theft light on the dash that comes on for 3 seconds after turning the ignition key to the ON position. I was given a standard non-PATS key when I bought the van.

It cranks over, but will not start. I pulled the codes and found a P1260. I also found these pending codes:

P0312
C2026
P1426
P1700

Is this P1260 code possible if the vehicle is not PATS equipped and will it prevent it from starting?

Thanks in advance

Crank no start can be a number of things, but if you really want to get it running, we can help give you a shove in the right direction.

If you see a theft light, chances are it has the PATS, but you just have the wrong key. Have another dealer get a look at it and see what they find out.

If it is equiped with PATS, the PATS light should be flashing if a non PATS key is used to turn the ignition to run or start.

If you post the VIN, I can see what it shows.

Here is the VIN 1 F D X E 4 5 P 9 8 D A 5 6 9 0 5

I cleared the codes, and they didn't return. Still no start. I need to buy a Scan Gauge from Bulletproof diesel.

Thanks for your help guys.
