Won't start

Hey guys, so this morning I go out and start my truck and it runs for about 10 sec and dies. Won't start again, doesn't even try. Noticed no blue smoke when trying. I opened and drained my water valve and turned key on to make sure was getting fuel. I'm thinking fuel filter??
Is there anything else I should look for?
Thanks guys!

Ok so i changed the fuel filter and got nothing. I scanned the computer and said PO1212, ICp voltage unexpected, I knew the sensor was going bad so i bought one a month ago so i changed it out and after a few cranks she pop and fired off. Then died about 10 sec later and back to nothing. Charging the batteries now.

Are you getting the WAIT TO START light? Check the 30 amp fuse in the panel under the dash.. is it blown?
What year is your truck?

Do you have access to a scan tool? Where are you if not, one of us with one may be able to help.

I do have a scan tool it reads P1212 (ICP voltage not at expected level), Earlier it had a different code about the exhaust valve, Cant remember the name of it. Friend deleted it. After some more reading it was suggested the IPR? Thats on the back of the HPOP if im correct. I will go and check to make sure that thin nut is on.
Thanks for all the suggestions so far.

Need to know the ICP when it does start. You will need a scanner which will show live data. Does your oil pressure gauge come up?

Put that nut back on, I am sure you did. It didn't make a difference, so as Fordman, said, the next thing to look at is live data while cranking, ICP, RPM, vehicle voltage, would be good to start with.

The only live data i know how to get is from my gauges, Oil rises, Volts go down, Tach rises,WTS comes on, Check engine light isnt on.
I might just have it towed to ford since its only going to be 8 degreese today.
